Get picked up at your accommodation and be prepared for a spectacular walking adventure that you have certainly never done before. Leave Portela village on a traceable path passing through sporadically planted fruit trees and vines, your path pushing gently upwards. Next, walk across the dusty lapilli that seems to muffle sound and life, then hike to the 1995 peak, before making the short ascent to peer down into the colourful, smoking crater created in 2014. Cross paths where lava has truncated the cobblestone road and take a break for a well-deserved picnic. After that, return down the path, which takes about 45 minutes to reach your hotel.

After doing one of the best things to do in Cape Verde, the tour concludes with walking back to your accommodation.
