Excursion Colonial city of sao filipe tour at Fogo

Discover the charming city of Sao Filipe with its colonial architecture of Portuguese influence, exploring the secret corners of this colonial town on a guided tour. At the heart of this colorful town learn about the history, the daily life and the culture of its people.

Visit the local museum, and listen to your guides' stories - which include witnessing the great volcanic eruption of 1995. No tour of Sao Filipe would be complete without a tasting of the local coffee. Stop at a small colonial house used as the Coffee Museum. Enjoy a taste of local coffee and also have a chance to buy the coffee produced on the island as you listen to the explanations from Aguinaldo, whose family has been on the coffee business for several generations. Here you can also purchase local crafts including hand jewelry made from the lava rocks.

Continue the visit with a stop at the sea front to visit a traditional bakery. Taste one more of the island's delicacies: cookies made on the old stone oven. The sweetness of the scent from the bakery is only matched by the smile on the face of your hostess, Maria Augusta.

Make the short transfer back to the ship.
