We were extremely pleased with the way the tour was conducted. The transport to and from the hotel worked great. Our guide Edson took exemplary care of us and his many explanations about the plant life enriched this tour.
Unqualified recommendation.

Expérience incroyable, avec un guide qui connaissait très bien l’histoire du Cap-Vert ainsi que tous les différents types de plantes etc. que nous avons pu voir tout au long de la randonnée. Merci à Rivaldin de nous avoir permis de profiter un maximum de cette expérience. Le restaurant à la fin de la randonnée était très bien placé, avec des énormes portions de plats locaux (1900 CVE pour 3 personnes.)
