Day Trip Serra Malagueta (Supplement)

Panoramic-Highpath to the Silver Beach

Assomada / St. Catarina

On the plateau of Santa Catarina, including its edges, you can make a start on different and very interesting tours of different lenghts.

Probably the best known hike is to the Poilon

Also, plateau hikes along the Ribeira de Santa Cruz, with the banana cooperative of Cancelo as the destination, or hikes along the Ribeira de Picos with San Thiago Major / Pedra Badejo as the destination have their charm.

Day Trip from Assomada down to the Sea:

Poilon - almost a giant:

São Miguel / Santa Cruz

You do not always need to take a hike to the plateau that, at some point, requires you to hike down again. With the following hikes we show you that Santiago also offers brilliant hikes around the Ribeiras.

Flamengos & Ribereita: 4 hours along two fertile Valleys
