For all hiking enthusiasts

Day 1
Flight from Santiago. When the plane approaches Fogo, one can't help staring at this dark cone. But what will charm us in São Filipe are the elegant and noble colonial mansions (sobrados), the pretty little streets leading to the ocean and the vivid colours of the Church Nossa Senhora da Conceição. Night in São Filipe.

Included services:
- Flight Santiago - Fogo
- Transfer Airport - Guesthouse Bela Vista
- City tour with roadbook Sao Filipe
- Dinner
- ON/DBL Pousada Bela Vista, Sao Filipe
- (-/-/D)

Day 2 (Hike: 4, 5 hours // level: 2-3 // +400m / -400 m)
We give this day an early start up to the crater. Alone the ride uphill is breathtaking - suddenly, after a curve, there it is: majestic and impressive. While getting closer to the volcano, wandering in the caldeira (literaly the cauldron) through cultivated fields and spectacular landscapes, we can not believe the blend of colours we have before our eyes. We spend two nights facing the volcano, in an accommodation built upon the still warm Lava - another adventure!

Included services:
- Transfer accommodation - cauldron
- luggage transfer to accommodation
- guided tour to Pico Pequeno and through the lava fields
- lunchbags and dinner
- ON/DBL Casa Marisa, Cha das Caldeiras
- (B/LB/D)

Day 3 (Hike: 4, 5 hours // level: 4** // +1100m / -1100m)
Before dawn we have breakfast because we need to leave early to avoid the excessive heat of the day. Once we reach the summit (2829 metres/9281 feet), and if the weather allows it, we are rewarded by an astonishing view upon the crater and ancient or recent laval flows. A second reward lies in the descent: we have the choice between running, sliding or rolling down the pozzolan gravel... It's so much fun, we'll want to hike up to be able to go down again!

Included services:
- Guided hike Pico Grande
- Lunch and Dinner
- ON/DBL Casa Marisa, Cha das Caldeiras
- (B/L/D)

Day 4 (Hike: 6 hours // level: 3 // -1600m)
We leave the cauldron on our own pace - guided by our roadbook - and walk down the hillside of the crater through coffee, orange and mango trees, guava bushes and sugar cane fields until Mosteiros. From there we head back to Sao Filipe.

Included services:
- Hike with roadbook, as per description
- Lunchbag
- Transfer Mosteiros - accommodation
- ON/DBL Pousada Bela Vista, Sao Filipe
- (B/LB/-)

Day 5
All good things must come to an end: we have to leave the island of Fogo. We bid farewell (despedida) to the volcano, as heartbroken as if we had to leave a dear friend. And what a huge friend!

Included services:
- Transfer accommodation - airport
- Flight Fogo - Santiago
- (B/-/-)
