Fogo - General Info
Description:
A spectacular, lush island west of Santago.
Fogo, which is Portuguese for “fire”, hosts a single classic volcanic cone. At 9,281 feet high, Pico do Fogo is the second-tallest volcano in the Atlantic, after El Teide on the island of Tenerife.
The fertile soil, particularly inside the crater, is perfect for growing vines and coffee. Don’t miss sampling the local wine at the winery inside the crater itself.
