Monte Graciosa, Mountain summit in Santiago, Cape Verde
Monte Graciosa rises to 654 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes and exposed rock formations made primarily of phonolite volcanic material.
The mountain formation dates back to Cape Verde's volcanic origins, when geological processes shaped the northern region of Santiago island over millions of years.
Local farmers maintain traditional agricultural practices on the lower slopes of Monte Graciosa, cultivating crops according to seasonal patterns.
Hiking trails to the summit require sturdy footwear and water supplies, with morning hours offering optimal conditions for the ascending journey.
The mountain supports several endemic plant species, including Campylanthus glaber and Euphorbia tuckeyana, which grow exclusively in this region.
