Fogo is an island of Cape Verde.

Fogo errupted out of the Atlantic 100000 years ago and has been an active volcano ever since. The most recent erruption was in 1995 which had the inhabitants of Chã das Caldeiras - the crater region at the top of the island - evacuate their homes for 6 months.

[edit] Regions

A trip to Fogo is not complete without a visit to the otherworldly Chã das Caldeiras including, for the adventurous, an ascent to the 2829m peak Pico de Fogo.

[edit] Cities

The charming main town of São Filipe with it's sobrado architecture is worth exploring for a day or so on your way through.

On the north coast of the island is the town of Moisteros.
