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 local guide. You’ll see lava from the 1951 eruption, learn about Fogo coffee, buy lunch, and swim in clear seawater pools. Guide Elmar has been praised for his local knowledge, but confirm your language when 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.”
