Chã das Caldeiras, the village in the crater

Best forThree nights from Santiago, not a day trip with a tight flight

The road climbs through lava into a village of vines and guesthouses on the 2014 flow. Walk the crater floor. Taste the wine — lava, altitude, stubbornness. Nights are cold.

Stay

Book crater rooms; capacity is small. São Filipe on the coast is the elegant alternative: cobbles, sobrado houses, black sand below the cliff.
