Fogo Holidays

Incredible volcanic island
Holidays on Fogo offer an unforgettable experience for keen walkers and all those looking for an adventurous Cape Verde holiday. This friendly island offers some of the most striking scenery in the entire group. Fogo holidays feature an extraordinarily beautiful volcanic island, dominated by Mount Fogo, an active volcano with a 5 mile wide crater, rising to an amazing 9000 feet. The island is an unforgettable mix of fertile fields, tropical valleys and vineyards, alongside wild lunar landscapes and lava flows. The vast grey cone of the volcano contrasts with fertile coffee, banana and oranges plantations in the north west. Holidays on Fogo will appeal to those with an adventurous spirit, as large parts of Fogo still feel well off the beaten track.

Challenging trekking
Fogo holidays offer some of the most extraordinary trekking on the Cape Verde Islands. All Fogo holidays should include a guided trip to the volcano crater, a long day hike that requires a reasonable degree of fitness. Fogo holidays also offer rewarding horse riding.

Extraordinary crater village
Most Fogo holidays are based in the clifftop town of Sao Fillipe: an atmospheric place with its neat colonial architecture, seafront promenade and black sandy beaches. All Fogo holidays should include a tour of the island if only to experience the staggering roads and get a glimpse of charmingly simple villages. Outside of the comfortable town hotels, Fogo holiday accommodation can be fairly basic. Whether a walker or not, all Fogo holidays should include the astonishing journey from Sao Fillipe to Cha das Caldeiras to experience the village’s astounding crater location. Holidays on Fogo often form part of a wider Cape Verde island-hopping holiday.
