Fogo National Park, National park with active volcano in Fogo Island, Cape Verde.
The park extends across 84 square kilometers of terrain, featuring the Pico do Fogo volcano that rises above 2,800 meters in elevation.
The territory divides between three municipalities: Santa Catarina do Fogo holds 50 percent, Mosteiros 28 percent, and São Filipe encompasses 22 percent of the land.
Local communities maintain connections through agriculture in the volcanic soil, producing crops that contribute to regional food traditions and economic stability.
Visitors require sturdy hiking boots, sun protection, and abundant water supplies when exploring the volcanic terrain and designated walking paths.
The park contains multiple endemic plant species, including the Echium vulcanorum that grows exclusively on the outer rim of the volcanic crater.
