The island of Fogo, in the southwest of the Cape Verde archipelago, is dominated by its volcano, Pico Do Fogo, which rises to 2,829 meters.
At the foot of this giant, the land is fertile, the many eruptions shape the landscape and fascinate tourists.
Good reasons to agree to live in the caldera, the crater, at the risk of losing everything… (Replay of March 29, 2019).
