Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Parque Natural do Fogo, Fogo Island, Fogo Cape Verde

Only by going round the island can you get an idea of the violence of the 1951 eruption. We first drive to Cova Figueira and Espigão, a lookout place where you get a complete view of the Volcano with its lava flow going all the way down to the sea. Then there is time to walk to the perimeter of the forest Monte Velha where you can see the Coffee Plantations.

We then travel to the town of Mosteiros where we stop for a typical Cape Verdean lunch in a local restaurant. The town also has a small attractive centre, wedged between the mountain and the sea, contrasting with the lava stone houses on the sombre outskirts. Finally a drive through to the Salinas for a relaxing time on a small black sandy beach. Please bring your bathing suit.
