Upon arriving in Porto Novo, guests will be greeted by their local guide who will lead them through an itinerary covering the island's highlights, utilizing a private vehicle for transportation.

Continuing northward, the route takes travelers past Delgadina, a narrow mountainous pass separating the Ribeira Grande and Ribeira da Torre valleys. Known for its picturesque scenery, this location has been immortalized in numerous photographs taken during the annual Festival Internacional de Cinema de São Vicente (FICSV).

This bustling urban center offers visitors a delightful culinary experience, including a memorable lunch break amidst the city’s charming atmosphere.
Travelers then proceed towards the verdant valley of Ribeira da Torre, renowned for its abundant crops such as bananas, mangoes, sugarcane, and breadfruit trees.
