Porto Novo is a major port city on the island of Santo Antao, the largest of the Cape Verde Islands and the second largest island in the entire country. Surrounded by breathtakingly scenic mountains and majestic hills, many locals have come to calling this island the “Switzerland of Cape Verde.” The domineering mountains—with their peaks reaching almost 5,000 feet into the air—actually split the island in two. Adventurous travelers see this great divide as a perfect hiking/exploration opportunity. Many are able to forge paths through spots of lower elevation to discover valley comprised of thick, tropical vegetation. Beyond the mountains, the coast is clear, albeit a bit rocky with large enough plots of lands for the locals to grow coffee, sugar cane, and bananas. The sugar cane acts as a vital ingredient in the world famous Cape Verde rum. Tours of this big island are available by minibus, allowing visitors to see a lot in a short period.
