Fogo at a glance

Fogo is Cape Verde's most spectacular island: towering above everything is the active volcano Pico do Fogo at 2,829 metres – the country's highest peak. In the black caldera of Chã das Caldeiras, vines produce a remarkable volcanic wine, and climbing the summit at sunrise is one of the great moments of any Cape Verde trip. Accommodation on Fogo combines this natural drama with colonial charm.

São Filipe, Cape Verde's third-oldest town, enchants with pastel-coloured manor houses (sobrados), ocean views and relaxed squares under mango trees. Add black sand beaches, coffee plantations on the volcano slopes of Mosteiros and warm-hearted hosts happy to share their wine and cheese. Find your holiday rental on Fogo here and enquire directly with the host.
