    Visiting the natural park in the giant crater of Chã das Caldeiras is the main tourist attraction in Cape Verde. It reveals to us one of the most beautiful natural places in the world. From the top of its 2829 meters, this majestic volcano "Pico de Fogo" is the highest point of Cape Verde! Live a unique experience in a lunar landscape of volcanic sand, dotted with vines and endemic plants. This exciting circuit offers a multitude of curiosities, human encounters and sublime breathtaking landscapes. The consequences of Volcan Island's expression, its eruptions, are visible. However, hope is reborn. The astonishing abnegation 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 be tasted on the island.
