What makes this place unique
About
Deep torrent riverbeds (Ribeira) stretching from the interior of São Filipe towards the ocean are seasonal streams that remain dry for most of the year.
Terrain, waters and landscape
Waters
These arid valleys carry water from mountains to the sea during sudden and heavy tropical rains in Cabo Verde. To examine the canyon-like structures where the valleys meet the sea, locate them via the Map.
During dry seasons, these riverbeds offer unique geological hiking routes among steep cliffs.
