Acquaint yourself with the volcanic nature of Cape Verde by way of a panoramic drive through fantastic landscapes and volcanic valleys. You'll pass dramatic coastlines, where the beaches are typically comprised of white sand and a black backdrop of lava mountains.
Enjoy a drive up Monte Verde -- the highest point on the island -- for a glimpse of São Vicente's many different landscapes (weather permitting) and the neighboring islands of St Antão and St Lucia.
A coastal drive leads you to magnificent Praia Grande Beach -- the venue for a tasting of local liqueur.
From there, the road back to the pier passes through the Calhau Valley agricultural region -- the breadbasket of Cape Verde. Your guide will tell you about the farming methods used and the crops grown here.
