The volcano is located in the center of the island and is the island’s most important feature, shaping the daily life of Fogo’s inhabitants. The imposing Fogo volcano is considered one of the wonders of Cape Verde and is active, having last erupted in 2014. The main cone, Peak of Fogo, is a mountain some 2829 meters high. It’s a real challenge to climb the main cone, providing visitors with an unforgettable experience. It is located in Chã das Caldeiras in the interior of Fogo, a unique locality. It has a track that winds its way through the mountains, without ever seeing the volcano until an imposing curve where the cone reveals itself. Chã das Caldeiras is situated at the foot of the volcano. Here you can enjoy the best of the island’s flavors such as wine, local cuisine and get to know the culture of the people who settled at the foot of the volcano, forming their own identity.
