What To Wear In Fogo
To sum it up - Stunning scenery but no beaches
- One of the main attractions for visiting Fogo is the volcano. If you are planning on walking to the top then be sure to pack light weight walking boots or trainers.
- Even when it is hot and sunny on the coast up in the high ground it can rain and be cold, pack a waterproof ... just in case.
- Lightweight Capri pants or skirt work well with flip flops.
- The roads and paths are very uneven so flat shoes are far more suitable than heels when out and about.
- What ever class of hotel or pension you are staying in dressing up really doesn't happen here, everyone is very casual.
- The people are wonderful and friendly and you can arrange a day tour of the island either by taxi or aluger both our very reasonable by comparison to the more touristic islands.
- Be sure to visit the Museum in Sao Filipe.
- This is a very young holiday destination and it will be difficult to get any sun cream and it will be expensive.
- Take Mosquito repellent.
