- Cha das Caldeiras - Get picked up at your accommodation and be prepared for a spectacular walking adventure that you have certainly never done before. Leave Portela village on a traceable path passing through sporadically planted fruit trees and vines, your path pushing gently upwards. Next, walk across the dusty lapilli that seems to muffle sound and life, then hike to the 1995 peak, before making the short ascent to peer down into the colorful, smoking crater created in 2014. Cross paths where lava has truncated the cobblestone road and take a break for a well-deserved picnic. After that, return down the path, which takes about 45 minutes to reach your hotel.
- Fogo - After doing one of the best things to do in Cape Verde, the tour concludes with walking back to your accommodation.

Great experience - The tour was a great alternative to the more challenging hike to the peak! Our guide led is to the smaller crater of 2014 through some vineyards and we also went into a cave forned by the 1995 eruption inside a cooled down lava stream. You even get the experience of "sliding" down the ashy slope of the volcano!

Good tour to hiking Fogo - It was a good way to visit the volcano in Fogo.
When I visit there, there are almost no other travelers. In order not to get lost, you need a guided tour.
The view from the mountain was great. The guide was very helpful to support my hiking.
This tour is from Cha das Caldeiras.
If you stay in Sao Fripe, you can ask for the operater to tranfer in additional charge.
This tour is not to the top of the mountain, but the middle of the point.
