Located within the Fogo National Park, hotspot volcanic area, the road to the volcano is totally paved. It’s a very scenic drive. Its highest elevation is 1.815m (5,954ft) above the sea level. The road is pretty steep, climbing up from Achada Fuma (900 m above sea level) to the edge of the caldera. The road features many hairpin turns.
