Embark on a guided hike to Pico do Fogo, the highest mountain in Cape Verde. Admire the volcanic landscape with its continuous volcanic activity. Make your way to the top with the help of your guide, enjoy breathtaking views and feel the sensation of touching the sky above the clouds. Get picked up from your accommodation and set off towards the volcano. Start the ascent with the support of your guide, who will adjust the climbing rate according to your abilities. After 3-4 hours, reach the summit, Cape Verde's highest peak at 2829 metres. From the top of the volcano, the third highest mountain in the Atlantic Ocean, enjoy unforgettable 360-degree panoramic views of Fogo Island, with the potential to see the other islands if the weather is good. Then take a well-deserved break and feel the sensation of touching the sky above the clouds. The guide will expand your knowledge of the eruption that left the entire city covered in lava.
After a picnic (costs not included), start the descent towards Chã das Caldeiras in the lava ash, an experience not to be missed.
