First things first: Even if you are an experienced mountaineer get a local guide!!! Not only are they a delight to have for extra information about the volcano and the life with it, the trail is hard to find and diverting from it can put groups that walk behind you at risk! We climbed up with Maurizio - and just meeting him was a highlight. You can always get in touch with the guides through Mustafa at Casa Marisa. Now, we are not hikers and we are only moderately fit, but we made it to the crater and back to Casa Marisa in 10hrs. You should be aware that the trail features some pretty scary parts (especially for people who are scared of heights). I only made it thanks to Maurizio. Also remember that the humidity of the air is very low - so pack enough water! If you do keep going you are rewarded with an experience you will never forget. The view (we had a perfectly clear day) was amazing, you can see the smoke coming from the crater and the hot air being emitted through some holes by the side. Going down make sure you take the path through the ash - it’s like a moon walk (careful: slippery at the bottom). You also have the best view of all the different lava fields and the other craters. On your way you can marvel at the wild plants and the fruit plantations. Even though going up was a highlight you should still visit Cha das Caldeiras of you don’t want to or cannot make it up the volcano. Just being in this place is pure magic!

Wasn't very easy going up,you NEED a guide in order to find your way. You get to see smoke in the volcano when up and the most fulfilling landscape throughout I highly recommend Jose for a guide.

(Translated by Google) A must see if you visit the archipelago, the crater of the volcano is undoubtedly the highlight of the island of Foto. On one of my visits I was lucky enough to see it in action, luckily I know Herculaneum, a local biologist, I was able to see first hand how the action of nature arose from within her. An unbeatable experience. Unfortunately, the nearby population of the crater was devastated, and its inhabitants were left without their homes. (Original) Lugar de obligada visita si se visita el archipiélago, el cráter del volcán es sin duda el punto álgido de la isla de Foto. En una de mis visitas tuve la suerte de verlo en acción, conozco, por suerte, a Herculano, biólogo del lugar, pude ver de primera mano como la acción de la naturaleza surgía del interior de ella. Una experiencia insuperable. Desgraciadamente la población cercana del cráter quedó devastada, quedándose sin sus casas sus habitantes.

Fogo is an active stratovulcano that erupted as recently as 2014. The views are amazing but it's true that getting to top will require some effort. Fogo will test your endurance ;) I didnt have a guide - and at least once I came to a dead end and had to backtrack. Apart from random boulders that sometimes come down with massive speed I dont think there are many risks involved. You might also see some smoke / fumes on top.

Nice place I love this... I want visit this

Do yourself a favour and go here before you die.

This is not the volcano. A long time ago, This volcano was 10x as high. It was so high and so steep it collapsed. The amount of material dumped into the ocean made a tsunami 200 ft tall. You can see the crater and you can see where parts of the island collapsed. I find it really neat that the magma has already made a new mini volcano in its place.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic place. The caldera is fascinating. The ascent to the crater is strenuous with luggage (in my case: measuring devices, food and water for 2 days). At the top you have an overwhelming view. It is a fascinating place at night. The descent over the flank covered with volcanic ash is rapid. Sometimes you sink down to your knees in the soft ground. It's great fun to run down there. In the evening in one of the bars you are happy to enjoy one of the homemade wines with a delicious meal. Sleeping in the open air in the caldera is a very nice experience of nature. Most of the houses are made of volcanic rock. Very friendly people. (Original) Traumhafter Ort. Die Kaldera ist faszinierend. Der Aufstieg zum Krater ist mit Gepäck (in meinem Fall: Messgeräte, Essen und Wasser für 2 Tage) anstrengend. Oben hat man einen überwältigenden Ausblick. In der Nacht ist es ein faszinierender Ort. Der Abstieg über die mit Vulkanasche bedekte Flanke geht rasant. Manchmal versinkt man bis zu den Knien im weichen Boden. Mach riesen Spaß da runter zu rennen. Abends in einer der Bars ist man dann froh, einen der hausgemachten Weine zu einem leckeren Essen zu genießen. In der Kaldera unter freiem Himmel zu schlafen, ist ein sehr schönes Naturerlebnis. Die meisten Häuser sind aus Vulkangestein gebaut. Sehr freundliche Menschen.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful Cha das Caldeiras at the foot of the volcano, a lunar landscape where black is king. The only place in the world where you can taste Manecon, the local wine, in all its fragrance. Equally suggestive is the black beach, too bad that in February the sea is not very swimming and there are fasty flies. (Original) Bellissima Cha das Caldeiras ai piedi del vulcano, paesaggio lunare in cui il nero fa da padrone. L'unico posto al mondo dove gustare il Manecon, il vino locale, in tutta la sua fragranza.

(Translated by Google) Pico do Fogo is the highest peak in Cape Verde and West Africa, rising to 2,829 meters above sea level. It is an active stratovolcano lying on the island of Fogo.

Incredible view and nice hike to the top. If you don't find the correct way down it can get difficult, but as soon as you reach the part where you can slide down, everything is nice and chill. Don't forget enough water..

Wonderful hike. Not difficult if you are in shape and used to climbing (summit can be reached in about 2h). Really great experience. Guide necessary especially to cross the peak and descend the other side. About 5.5h round trip with a break on top and a stop a pico pequeno on the way down. Totally worth it.

(Translated by Google) The peak of Fogo has not erupted since the 18th century, but it remains an active volcano, namely at the level of the caldera floor whose last eruption was in 2014. It is possible to climb to the summit of the volcano, by technical trails with an approximate duration of 4 hours. The last difficulty is the greatest difficulty. It is advisable to go with a guide. (Original) O pico do Fogo não têm erupções desde o século XVIII, mas continua a ser um vulcão ativo, nomeadamente ao nível do chão da caldeira cuja última erupção foi em 2014. É possível a subida até ao cume do vulcão, por trilhos técnicos com uma duração aproximada de 4h. Na última crista encontra-se a maior dificuldade. Aconselha-se ir com guia.
