Sao Filipe: Coffee Plantation and Natural Pools Day Trip
1.Coffee Plantation and Natural Pools Day Trip
Travel from São Filipe to Cova Figueira, Mosteiros, and Salinas de São José with a guide and driver. You’ll see 1951 lava flows, learn about Cape Verdean coffee, stop for local lunch, and swim in a clear natural pool. Guide Elmar is praised for his island knowledge, but confirm your language before booking.
“The guide and driver were really nice and gave us a lot of interesting information about Fogo, Plants, agriculture, coffee, customs, social aspects and animals. We also tried cashew fruit which was very interesting. The swim in the saline was also fun. The water has a high visibility so I recommend a scuba mask if you wanna explore underwater. Definitely recommend this.”
