A black cone standing in the middle of a caldera, a village living inside it, and wine grown in the ash. The 7 below cover the Pico do Fogo climb and the gentler Chã das Caldeiras days, with honest notes on how hard each one is.

“Our guide, Junior, was excellent, he took the pace nice and steady, having regular short breaks and checking we we ok. He spoke excellent English and had a passion for the volcano and surrounding area, would highly recommend him.”
8-hour offroad Sal tour in a pink Ford Ranger, with creative photo stops, remote corners, salt flats, bays, and natural swimming pools.
“we asked our guide to take us to places tourists don't normally see & that is exactly what he did. It was off road & good to see the Sal we wouldn't have normally. if we come to Sal again we would definitely book this tour again.”
A 7-hour Fogo Island day trip to Pico de Fogo’s crater at Chã das Caldeiras, with volcanic tastings and lunch in Sao Filipe.
“The island is amazing, we had a great time. The tour guides had all the answers and very friendly. The food was very good also.”
Hike Pico de Fogo on Ilha do Fogo to Cape Verde’s 2,829 m peak, guided ascent, crater views, and ash-sand descent.
“The trip was very intens. You really have to climb. If you are afraid of hights or have a bad condition, don't try this If you love hiking, than this is absolutely something for you! Our guide Flavio also did a great job! He was patient and very helpful. Props to him!”
Guided Pico do Fogo volcano hike on Fogo Island, small group with pickup, crater views, 2,829 m summit.
“L'arrivée au pied du volcan dans la nuit pour découvrir le levé du soleil dans le cratère est une des choses à voir dans sa vie, tellement l'impression est extraordinaire.”
7-hour Fogo day trip from São Filipe: lava views at Cova Figueira, organic coffee in Mosteiros, and a swim at Salinas de São José.
“The guide and driver were really nice and gave us a lot of interesting information about Fogo, Plants, agriculture, coffee, customs, social aspects and animals. We also tried cashew fruit which was very interesting. The swim in the saline was also fun. The water has a high visibility so I recommend a scuba mask if you wanna explore underwater. Definitely recommend this.”
Half-day on Fogo’s west, from São Filipe’s sobradôs and Igreja Nossa Senhora da Conceição to the volcanic Salinas pool and Calabaceira punch.
“The trip showed a section of Fogo. Communication was difficult at times because our tour guide didn't speak English very well. The Salinas were impressive because the sea was very rough. Swimming would have been life-threatening.”
Every kind of day out on the islands, and the best of each.
