Guide très sympathique, parlant parfaitement le français et très cultivée (biologie, histoire etc...). Expédition relativement facile, marche d'environ 3 heures, très venté, brumeux et relativement frais vers les sommets. Paysages magnifiques. Visite d'un village tenu par une communauté vivant comme les indigènes de l'époque (mais on a vu un poste TV qui fonctionnait...!!).

Great to get out and see beyond the hotel. The scenery from the island drive was beautiful but the view from the hike even better - a bit of a climb up but worth it and downhill on way back! Enjoyed a refreshing swim and rest on the beach afterwards. Afi, our guide was great - patient, helpful and we laughed a lot!

A fantastic trek in Serra Malagueta with breathtaking landscapes! The beach in Tarrafal is incredibly beautiful! Our guide Djebril was amazing! He was a very kind and generous guide. He didn't hesitate to assist us in booking our boat to Fogo and even drove us early the next morning. Thanks to the whole team and thank you, Djebril! It was absolutely stunning
