Making the most of Fogo

Use these notes to shape a realistic day ashore, then confirm any time-sensitive information for the date of your call.

Arriving at the port

Some ships do not stop here and simply circle the island.

Fogo's volcano is the principal draw, while historic Sao Filipe and Cha das Caldeiras within the volcanic crater attract most visitors.
