Climb to the highest peak in Cape Verde, with an altitude of 9,281 feet. During the climb and from the highest point, you can admire a complete view of Chã das Caldeiras and even Santiago Island. From there, we realize the size of the successive eruptions.

When we reach the top, we have the feeling of being on top of the world amidst the smell of sulfur emanating from the center of the impressive volcano.
