Best Hotels Near Fogo Volcano Cape Verde

Fogo — Fire Island — is dominated by its active volcano Pico do Fogo at 2,829 metres, the highest peak in Cape Verde and one of the most active volcanoes in the Atlantic, most recently erupting in 2014-2015 when lava flows destroyed the villages of Portela and Bangaeira. The dramatic volcanic caldera of Cha das Caldeiras, with its lava flows, lunar landscape, and Cha wine grown in volcanic ash, is one of West Africa's most extraordinary landscapes. Hotels in Sao Filipe on Fogo provide access to the volcano and the island's Portuguese colonial architecture.
