What makes this place unique
About
Stretching into the inland areas of the São Filipe municipal boundaries, the ancient volcanic parasitic cones and Forno slopes form the rugged topography of the region.
Terrain, waters and landscape
Terrain
These areas are old eruptive centers descending towards the São Filipe region at the foothills of the main volcano Pico do Fogo in Cabo Verde. For the location and altitude of the slopes, visit our Map page.
Thanks to the mineral-rich volcanic soil, they provide favorable microclimatic zones for local coffee and vine cultivation.
