Monte Velha is home to microclimates that favor the production of this bean and, consequently, the formation of a relief with vultos (shadows) that make this cultivation possible on the slopes and in the coffee valleys. The last stage of this first day on the island of Fogo is a visit to another association of producers, the chilli pepper association. There, you will learn about the history of this delicacy and have the opportunity to get to know ethos that is not available in the large-scale economy.
The next step will take you to observe a coffee plantation that contributes to shaping the landscape.
Now, admire the uneven view from its volcanic cone. The volcano is active, and the last eruption was in 2014. What surrounds it is a deep, black space filled with lava and lush vegetation. Our first stop on the trail was in an area where fig, grape, apple and pear trees used to grow. The trail we followed meanders and takes us to the first death of a resistance hero in Cape Verdean history. After the event, the trail we followed was a gift. In 3 hours, we climbed the volcano.
Enjoy the view of Pico do Fogo, the third highest mountain in the Atlantic Ocean at 2829 meters. The peak, one of the steepest and most spectacular volcanic cones in the world, is the right place to take in a 360-degree panorama of the island of Fogo and the adjoining part of the Sotavento Group of islands. And to make this view even more remarkable, the tour of the mountain's crater is the most fun part of the day.

Next, start the descent of the difficult ash slope, during which you sink to your knees in Lapilli and have the strong impression of suffocating in cat food. The heat is unbearable, and all you want is a drink of water. Between the ruin and the skyfall, you're in the middle of the lava trail. Once you've finished one of the most tiring hikes in Cape Verde, you head back to São Felipe and rush to the last drop-off point at the airport.
