THINGS TO DO AND SEE

Arriving at Fogo National Park, em Chá das Caldeiras, one of the most awe inspiring views you will ever see in you life.

The National Park on Fogo is the best place to see Cape Verde flora and fauna, some of which you will only find in this crater, and nowhere else on earth.

You an walk on the lava flow from the eruption that only came to a stop in February 2015.

The Pico towers above the other volcanos in the crater.

The roads snakes through lava fields for an hour to get to the villages that had to be evacuated. Over 1000 people had to flee.

The craters immense walls contained the lava flow. Rebuilding is gradually happening.
