Pico de Antónia

It is located in the southern part of the island of Santiago, between the meridians 23º 37' 30" and 23º 39' 40" of longitude W and the parallels 15º 1' 30" and 15º 3' 30" of latitude N. The Sierra de Pico de Antónia is oriented towards SE-NW. The mountains of Rui Vaz and Serra de Pico de Antónia constitute one of the two most representative samples of mountain ecosystems on the island of Santiago. They hold a relatively high number (17%) of Cape Verde's endemic higher plant species.

The future Rui Vaz-Serra de Pico de Antonia Natural Park should include the Rui Vaz area, from Monte Tchota, the Serra do Pico de Antónia area, from about 600 m to the peak. The central area is the peak area, from about 1100 m, including the headwaters of the Ribeira Chuva Chove, Ribeira Seca and Ribeira Longueira.
