I initially booked the Serra Malgueta Natural park hike, but as I was the only one signed up for the tour on that day, the agency proposed the Calabaceira Valley Trek and Visit to Cidade Velha instead. The hike was a lot easier than the one I wanted to take, but it was great. Beautiful views and an introduction to the local fauna by a knowledgeable (and super fun) guide Ailton who also gave us lots of interesting insights into local culture, life and history. Although I have visited Cidade Velha before on my own, it was totally worth it, because Ailton provided a ton of interesting info. As it was still a bit early in the day, we skipped the tasting of grogue at the super authentic local distillery, but we have tasted (and bought) some ponche later on at Banana street - delish! All in all, a very entertaining and informative half day experience which I would definitely recommend.
