Starting point in the village of Corda, about 1000m above sea level, and going to the Delgadinho Lookout, no doubt the most popular tourist spot on Santo Antão, It is at nearly 800m altitude.
I took a taxi up from Ribeira Grande - too far to go – 12 kms up and 12 kms back. Most tourists take a taxi both ways.
The ride costs 1800 CVE (Cape Verde Escudos), which is approximately $20. Besides the taxis, there is the “collective” service. This is much cheaper, but does not depart until 11 am, which is too late.
Walked back, all downhill, but still pretty long.
Passing can be tricky…
A distant view of Xôxô, just to the right of center. The road seen
below is the one I bike most days of the week – it is nice smooth asphalt.
