Narrative:
[We were] descending for the approach into ZZZ in VMC [when] we got a GPWS (ground proximity warning system) warning to climb for terrain. We got a GPWS warning from the plane. There was a ridge in between us and the airport and we decided to descend to final approach fix altitude slowly so we wouldn't trigger the warning to go off. The captain disconnected the auto pilot and started a climb; once we were on the other side of the ridge and deemed that a normal approach can be continued; we started a descent and landed as planned. We should have stayed at the MSA (minimum safe altitude) and started the descent on the other side of the ridge since we were coming from that direction.
