Activities

Summit Hikes

Guided pre-dawn climbs to Pico do Fogo’s 2,829 m summit — sunrise over the Atlantic from Cabo Verde’s highest point.

EXPERIENCES

Adventures You Can Only Have Inside a Volcano

From summit sunrises to wine grown in lava soil — every experience at Sodade begins where the ordinary world ends: at the crater’s rim.

Horseback in the Crater

Ride through lava fields and vineyards with local horsemen — at sunrise or golden hour. First-time riders welcome: gentle horses, patient guides, unforgettable terrain.

Volcanic Wine Cellars

Taste wines grown in pure lava soil with the growers of Chã das Caldeiras — a terroir that exists nowhere else on Earth.

E-Bike the Lava Trails

Silent, solar-charged e-bikes across the 2014 lava flows — all the adventure of the moonscape, none of the noise.

What Our Guests Say About Their Stay

Real words from travellers who slept inside the crater.

"We've done safari lodges and Nordic cabins — nothing compares to opening the dome at dawn and seeing Pico do Fogo right there. World-class in every detail."

Claire Dubois France

"The wine tasting alone was worth the flight. Sleeping in a volcano crater under that sky? Unforgettable."

Marco Bianchi Italy

"Sustainable without sacrificing an ounce of comfort. The team from the village made us feel like family."

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers about your stay

Everything you need to know before travelling to the crater — and if we’ve missed something, we’re one message away.

What time is check-in and check-out?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. Arriving on an early flight or catching a late ferry? Tell us in advance — we're flexible whenever the domes allow, and you're always welcome to leave your bags and start exploring the caldera.

Is breakfast included in the stay?

Yes — every stay includes breakfast made with local produce: fresh bread, fruit, Fogo honey and coffee grown right here on the island's slopes. Dinner featuring crater-grown ingredients and local wine can be arranged on request.

How do I get to Sodade Eco Camp?

Fly to São Filipe (Fogo) from Praia — a 30-minute flight, or arrive by ferry. From São Filipe, it's a spectacular 1-hour drive up into the crater of Chã das Caldeiras. We arrange private transfers for all our guests; just send us your arrival details.

What activities are available on-site?

The signature experience is the guided pre-dawn hike to Pico do Fogo's summit (2,829 m). Beyond that: volcanic wine tastings with local growers, guided walks across the 2014 lava flows, Fogo coffee tastings, stargazing under a zero-light-pollution sky, and live Cape Verdean music evenings in the village.

Is there Wi-Fi and electricity in the domes?

Yes to both — comfortably. The camp runs 100% on solar power, with lighting and charging in every dome, and Wi-Fi available. Fair warning: with that sky at night, you may forget to use it.

How can I make or modify a reservation?

Book directly through our contact page, by email at stay@sodade.eco, or via WhatsApp. Direct bookings always get the best available rate. Need to change dates? Contact us up to 7 days before arrival and we'll rearrange at no cost, subject to availability.
