Descent to Mosteiros

After reaching the summit of Pico do Fogo, one of the most memorable moments is the descent to Mosteiros, on the north-west coast of the island. The path winds through contrasting landscapes, passing from austere volcanic terrain to lush green crops that herald coastal life. The descent often follows a path marked by black ash, allowing you to slide slightly with each step, making the descent both athletic and fun. As you descend, the panoramic views gradually widen, revealing the Atlantic Ocean on the horizon. Mosteiros, a charming coastal town, appears as a natural reward after your efforts. The cool sea breeze helps you along the way. Descending towards Mosteiros is the perfect way to end a volcanic adventure, immersing yourself in the culture and wild beauty of Cape Verde. A right of way fee of 100 ecv per person must be paid before tackling the long descent.
