The visit of the natural park in the giant crater of Chã das Caldeiras is the main tourist attraction in Cape Verde. It reveals one of the most beautiful natural places in the world. From its 2829 meter height, this majestic “Pico de Fogo” volcano is the highest point in Cape Verde! Live a unique experience in a lunar landscape of volcanic sand, dotted with vines and endemic plants. This fascinating circuit offers a multitude of curiosities, human encounters and then breathtaking sublime landscapes. The consequences of the expression of Volcan Island, its eruptions, are visible. However, hope is reborn. The astonishing selflessness of the inhabitants gives us a lesson in life. We discover a respectful relationship between man and his volcano. You will have the opportunity to taste the excellent natural products from this volcanic land and its unique microclimate. Wine, coffee and cheese are the products to taste on the island.

During our visit on Fogo we did 2 tours with qualitur. The first tour around island to learn more about the island. Because both the driver and the guide did their job very well we also did the tour to the crater with them. To visit the crater is a must on Fogo.

3. 6. Hike to the crater of Little Pico 2014, on the volcano of FOGO

Chã das Caldeiras, Cape Verde Qualitur Viagens e Turismo

This hike in the crater of Chã das Caldeiras allows you to climb to the small crater formed by the volcanic eruption of 2014. It is the youngest crater on the island: the little Pico. In this lunar landscape, vegetation (endemic plants and vines) manages to grow here and there. What a contrasting colored landscape! Another sadder vision is the observation of the destruction caused by the lava flows rejected by this small crater. The inhabitants of the village show courage and return after leaving their buried homes. Somehow, they rebuild their lives next to the volcano, for which they have great respect. This hike offers a festival of the senses. Visual, olfactory (smell of sulfur), an almost silence touched by the breath of the wind. And finally this contact with this soil of rocks and lavas: everything is there to live an exciting "volcanic" experience.

These guys were great! They arranged a pickup for us at the airport and took us to our hotel to check in and get ourselves ready for the day. We enjoyed a full day tour with lunch and drive to the base of the volcano. We had a great lunch and Nilton couldn’t have been a better host. He was very knowledgeable about the island and culture. They even drove us well out of the way to a town that our son used to live in so we could try to meet up with some of his friends. These guys were so accommodating. I would refer anyone to them. Thanks for a great tour!

4. 7. Ascension of VOLCAN Grand Pico to FOGO

Pico do Fogo, Cape Verde Qualitur Viagens e Turismo

This excursion is ideal for adventurers who love the mountains. Many people travel to Cape Verde and come to the island of Fogo especially to climb the majestic volcano "Pico de Fogo". This climb allows you to reach ... the highest point of Cape Verde! This magnificent active volcano rises to 2,829 meters above sea level. The difficulty level of this climb is difficult. You have to be in good physical condition. You will be accompanied by an experienced local mountain guide. On the sensation side, the climb can be a challenge for some. But know that a great reward awaits you at the top: total tranquility and a spectacular panoramic view. The descent of the volcano on the volcanic ash is very pleasant and cheerful. This excursion provides enthusiasm and strong emotions. You will love!
