Cape Verde Santa Antao Island getting about

Santa Antao

. In Santa Antao the cobbled roads through the mountains are hazardous as they are not repaired. Local drivers know where the worst potholes are. But it may be wiser to use a taxi, particulary at night..

Use a local driver on the much worse roads on Santa Antao.The long trip through the mountains tio Ponta do Sol should be organised in advance with your travel agent, or you are likely to pay too much.

Taxia and aluguers meet the ferries at Porto Novo, but most people want to get to the pretty North Coast, which involves an expensivre trip through the mountains.
