★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 22 reviews · from $106

Hike Serra Malagueta from Praia through Gongon and Hortelã valleys, with mountain views, local lunch, wildlife, and hotel transfers.

“A fantastic nature experience, if our guide hadn't tried to set a running record. 12 kilometers in about 3.5 hours! There was no picnic as described, just a quick stop to eat papaya! The guide was way ahead and either didn't notice some of our falls or didn't want to see them. The route is very challenging but beautiful, but it also requires a guide who cares about his or her group.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 6 reviews · 5 hours · from $111

Hike Serra Malagueta from Praia for forest trails, Fogo views, local stories, a private guide, and lunch in the mountains.

“Heel toffe chauffeur en gids om het park te bezoeken! De service was van het begin tot het einde goed. Ze drongen nergens op aan, de gids Apollo nam met plezier toffe foto’s en video’s. Het is ook echt aan te raden om dit ook met een gids te doen want de wandelpaden zijn niet goed aangegeven. De wandeling is ongeveer 3-4 uur, maar ze stoppen regelmatig voor een fotomoment of voor een rustpauze. Zeker een aanrader!!”
