PEDRA DO LUME
Prepare for an out-of-this-world experience at the beautiful salt flats in Pedra de Lume. Explore this surreal moon-like crater of an ancient volcano, float in the salt lakes or head to a local spa to have a salt scrub or massage.
CLIMB PICO DO FOGO
Challenging but highly rewarding, prepare yourself to hike Pico do Fogo, the highest point in Cape Verde. Taking around 3–4 hours we'll traverse volcanic rocks and slopes until we reach the peak and soak in breathtaking panoramic views of Fogo Island.
TASTE CACHUPA
Cape Verde's national dish is a delicious, hearty and comforting stew with Portuguese origins and is a symbol of Cape Verdean culture. The dish is made up of hominy, beans, seasoned meats and vegetables but each family adds their own unique twist.
