Top Tours & Activities in Nova Sintra

Discover Brava, the island that lies just 20 km away from its older brother, Fogo Island. Swim in the beautiful warm natural pools of Fajã d’Água and explore Cape Verde’s most secret and authentic places.

This spetacular walk encapsulates the essence of Brava: the remote valley hamlet of Sorno making miraculous use of its little stream to farm extensive green terraces up the mountainsides; the vivid, slightly menacing sea; the barren mountains; the ghost villages that are tetament to livelier times, and periodically, big brother Fogo Island looming from across the sea.

Enjoy a steep climb from sea level, up the side of a Ribeira to the Cruz, followed by a descent of the cobbled road.
