Cape Verde’s island of Fogo is renowned for its dramatic volcanic scenery, black-sand beaches, and fertile farmland where coffee and wine flourish. This program offers an immersive opportunity to experience the island’s unique character — from trekking to the crater rim of Pico do Fogo to tasting the famous “Chã” wine at its source. Explore the charming streets, markets, and museums of São Filipe, try traditional fishing alongside local communities, and enjoy freshly prepared seafood by the coast.

The journey then continues to Santiago, where you will discover the historic UNESCO World Heritage town of Cidade Velha and unwind in the relaxed surroundings of Tarrafal Beach. The program also offers meaningful local connection through its link with our volunteer center, creating a rewarding blend of adventure, culture, and community engagement.
