Cabeço Gordo (Portuguese for fat mountain) is the highest mountain massive stratovolcano and the largest geomorphological structure that forms the island of Faial. The mountain/volcano is 1043 meters above sea level consisting of a two kilometer wide caldera that is 400 m in depth below the crater rim. From Cabeço Gordo on a clear day the islands of the central group of the Azores are visible: Pico Sao Jorge and Graciosa although normally the caldera may be covered in clouds and fog.
