Welcome to Fogo Island!
Fogo, the “Island of Fire”, is one big volcano rising out of the Atlantic. At its heart is Pico do Fogo, which at 2,829 metres is the highest point in Cabo Verde and one of the few active volcanoes you can climb with a local guide. Its last eruption, in 2014–2015, sent lava flowing across the crater floor, and the black lava fields it left behind are still there to walk across today.
Inside the huge crater lies Chã das Caldeiras, a village where families have rebuilt their homes and farms on the volcano’s slopes. Grapes, apples, figs and pomegranates grow in the dark volcanic soil, and the grapes become Fogo’s famous wines, which you can taste straight from the people who make them.
Down on the coast, the island’s capital São Filipe is known for its colourful colonial houses, cobbled streets and cliff-top views towards the island of Brava. In the green north, around Mosteiros, coffee grows on steep hillsides, and quiet villages keep the island’s rural way of life alive.
Whether you want to reach the summit at sunrise, hike across lava fields, taste volcanic wine or simply drive the winding roads between the mountains and the sea, our local guides will show you the Fogo that most visitors never see.
