Cape Verde Fogo Island, getting about

Travel on Fogo

Sao Felipe is not for fom the port or the airport, where people arrive. it is a longish and costl;y trip to the volcano, which is why most people come here.

Best to take a taxi from the port and stick to it if you find a good one. There are hire cars in the main square. But there are no road signs and it is hard to get a map, so hiring a car is not an easy option. Take a taxi to the volcano, but negotiate the price in advance or it will cost.

Aluguers have a tendency to try to make yopu pay for the whole vehicle and then to pick up other passengers, as well, Resist this.

Brava Island

Aluguers meet the ferries from Brava and Santiago and ply fixed routes, mostly to the capital. To reach faja d`Agua the prettiest spot is difficult.

The bench in the back of Manuel Burgos` Toyota Hiace pickup is the only possible transport here. Aluguers meet the boat with a planned schedule that usually excludes Faja d`Agua, so you must phone him.
