Fogo Island holiday
rentals Cape Verde. Fogo is an awesome island with ever changing
scenery, there are terraces of banana, orange and  coffee plantations
contrasting with bleak lunar plains and black sand beaches and a rather
splendid town, Sao Filipe, which is reminiscent of colonial days with a
distinctly French influence. We have holiday villas and
apartments to rent on various parts of Fogo Island. Fogo is dominated by
the volcanic cone of Pico de Fogo, which at 2829m is the highest point
in the republic. There are also some good beaches. Fogo has
some wonderful scenery. Thousands of years ago, Fogo erupted from the
sea and at its peak, originally reached 35km but since then has lost
300m in height when a huge section collapsed. That said, it still boasts
the highest peak in Cape Verde. Since 1785 many smaller eruptions have
taken place over time and have all been inside the crater which have
created craters in the floor of the original crater which now stretches
a massive 7km wide and 10km long. The scenery on Fogo is impressive:
dark rocks and black sands give an impression of a lunar landscape. São
Filipe, the capital of Fogo is a pretty town full of Portuguese squares,
cobbled streets and sobrados, pastel houses decorated with quality woods
and tiles from Portugal. The views from the promenade are of the island
of Brava and a severe drop down to the black sands below. Visitors to
Fogo tend to embark on a hike up the volcano with a rewarding lunch at
the top in a restaurant offering magnificent views Our Fogo holiday rentals are located on some superb beachfront
locations and are furnished to the highest standard. If you are looking for a Cape Verde holiday villa or apartment
