Full description

Embark on a guided hike up Pico do Fogo, the highest mountain in Cape Verde. Admire the volcanic landscape with its ongoing volcanic activity. Make your way to the top with the help of your guide, take in breathtaking views, and feel the sensation of touching the sky above the clouds. Get picked up at your accommodation and depart towards the volcano. Start the ascent with support from your guide who will adjust the climbing rate according to your skills. After 3-4 hours, reach the summit, the highest peak of Cape Verde at 2829 meters.  From the top of the volcano, the third highest mountain in the Atlantic Ocean, take in the unforgettable 360-degree panoramic views of Fogo Island, with the potential to see the other islands if the weather is good.  Next, take a well-deserved break and feel the sensation of touching the sky above the clouds. The guide will broaden your knowledge of the eruption that has left the entire city covered with lava.

After a picnic (costs not included), start the descent running down toward Chã das Caldeiras in the lava ash, an experience not to miss.

Unser Ausflug war sehr schön. Der Wanderführer hat uns direkt am Hotel abgeholt und konnte uns viel über das Dorf und den Vulkan erzählen. Er hat oft nachgefragt, ob der Wanderrhythmus gut für uns ist und ob wir Pausen brauchen. Wir haben uns gut betreut gefühlt und die ganze Wanderung war ein schönes Erlebnis für uns.

Unglaublich eindrücklich. Die Zusatzschlaufe zum kleinen Pico lohnt sich! Unvergesslich und Guide war super informiert und erzählte viel über sein Leben im Krater und über den Ausbruch im Jahr 2014. Absolut lohnenswert auch wenn der Aufstieg sehr anspruchsvoll war, da heftiger Wind wehte. Dieser sei aber nicht immer so stark wurde uns mitgeteilt.

Wir hatten einen super Guide (Helder) bei dem wir uns jederzeit und immer bedenkenlos sicher fühlten. Die Tour ist absolut zu empfehlen und auch die private Tour war im Vergleich zu denen, die man vor Ort buchen konnte, zwar teurer aber ich würde sie wieder buchen, da man durch den Guide sehr viele Infos rund um die Insel und das Leben der Einwohner von Kapverden erfahren hat! Preis-Leistung war top und auch das Englisch war super! Sehr gerne wieder!
