Montanha is a settlement in the central part of the island of Santiago, Cape Verde.

The area is intensively farmed; mainly maize, beans and sugar-cane.

There are two African mahogany trees near the village of Banana (part of the settlement Montanha), standing at the bottom of the Ribeira Montanha valley, 400 m above sea level.

The trees were identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because they support a colony of purple herons[2] or Bourne's herons.
