Overnight in Praia, the capital of the island

An intense day, between memory, culture and vibrant glimpses.

We start from the beating heart of the Cape Verdean capital: Praia, with its colonial and contemporary soul intertwining through the streets of the Plateau, the historic district.

We will stroll through sunny squares, elegant churches, authentic markets and the colourful art street of Ponta Belém, down to the bustling and popular market of Sucupira, where the true Praia shows itself without filters.

Then, a short transfer takes us back in time: welcome to Cidade Velha, the cradle of Cape Verde.

Founded by the Portuguese in the 15th century, it is the first colonial city in sub-Saharan Africa and today is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Among cobbled alleys and ruins steeped in history, we will visit:

• The majestic Fort of São Filipe, which dominates the bay from 100 metres high and tells stories of pirate attacks and courage.
• The remnants of the Cathedral, the Convent of São Francisco, the Church of Nossa Senhora do Rosário – the oldest religious building in West Africa.
• The mythical Rua Banana, the first street laid out by the colonists.
• The touching slave market, with the stocks still standing, a symbol of a past that cannot be forgotten.

An excursion that is not just a visit, but a deep connection with the historical soul of Cape Verde.

Breakfast at accommodation and Departure

The day begins with a flight to one of the most fascinating islands of the archipelago: Fogo, the island of the volcano.

Upon arrival, a spectacular transfer awaits us to Chã das Caldeiras, a unique village in the world nestled in the heart of the crater. Here, nature speaks with the voice of silence, among lava flows and vineyards that grow in the ash.

We will visit the renowned traditional wineries of Fogo, where a volcanic wine with an intense and unmistakable flavour is produced, a symbol of the resilience and creativity of this people.

The overnight stay will be in a simple and authentic accommodation, lacking modern comforts such as hot water, but immersed in an extraordinary context: sleeping at the foot of the volcano, under a clear and starry sky, is an experience that is unforgettable.

A total immersion in the power of nature and the truest soul of Cape Verde.

At the end of the excursion, return to Accommodation, dinner and overnight stay

Today an epic adventure awaits you: the ascent to Pico do Fogo, the highest peak in Cape Verde (2829 metres).

An intense, exciting, unforgettable hike.

We depart from Chã das Caldeiras, in the heart of the crater, among ancient lava flows and vineyards that defy the ash. The ascent, guided by local experts, is a crescendo of breathtaking views and absolute silences. Each step reveals the power of nature, each breath is charged with primal energy.

Upon reaching the summit, you will literally feel on top of the world.

The view embraces the entire caldera, and on clear days, you can even glimpse the island of Santiago on the horizon.

The air is thin, the ground warm beneath your feet, and a faint smell of sulphur tells you that the volcano, down there, is still alive.

In the afternoon, descent and transfer to the historic city of São Filipe, nestled by the ocean, to conclude this day with eyes full of wonder and a heart brimming with adventure.

Breakfast at accommodation and Departure

Prepare to change scenery, breath and pace.

Today a spectacular trek awaits you: from the lunar landscape of the volcano to the lush northern coast of Fogo.

We will depart from Chã das Caldeiras, where the black earth tells stories of fire and rebirth. As we move away from the caldera, the landscape transforms: we enter the forest of Monte Velha, an oasis of coolness populated by eucalyptus, cypress and tropical trees, where the scent of nature changes with every step.

The path gently descends towards the community of Pai António, where the forest gives way to coffee, banana and cultivated fields, in a riot of green and rural life. A true contrast to the lava, another face of the island.

Finally, we will reach Mosteiros, a coastal village immersed in tranquility and surrounded by the ocean. Here a traditional lunch, with a sea view and local flavours, awaits us to beautifully conclude one of the most varied and surprising days of the journey.
