On the island of Fogo you will find one of the greatest vulcano sceneries on the earth. This island of fire looks like a triangle, someone cut part the top, grabbed a big hole and put into a new big volcano with a height of about 1400 meters.
The visit of Cha da Caldeiras, a stay with the people there and climbing the pico will be for sure one the highlights for any visitor coming to Cape Verde.
The crater is a highlight of the archipelago, its drama matched only by the mountains of St. Antao. Fogo is thus one of the principal hiking islands, but it is also fascinating for its natural history. Much of the island's splendour can be reached by vehicle. There is modest swimming but virtually no white beaches and no watersports. The capital is quiet.
