Viewpoint in the Mountains of Cape Verde

Highlight • Viewpoint

Currently (November 2023) this route is very overgrown. So if you don't have a problem with big spiders and tall grass, the path is okay... The view at the end is worth it!

Botanical Garden

Highlight • Structure

You can find many wonderful plants here. Don't expect too much, but if you are in this area you should take a look at the small garden.

November 5, 2023,Wanderung São Jorge nach Rui Vaz

Currently (November 2023) the officially marked hiking trails are very overgrown and sometimes difficult to find. But it can be done with a little orientation.

November 17, 2024,Rundwanderung Quinta da Montaña über Jardim Botanica und Hamburgerbude, Rui Vaz

Very nice tour, tiring because of the elevation. Unfortunately, Jardim Botanica is not worth it - entrance fee 200 ESC, don't let them rip you off, the guard initially wanted to charge us 700 ESC as a couple.
