Bordeira is a semicircular mountain in the middle of the island Fogo.

It is a crater rim, up to 1 km high, formed by a prehistoric collapse of the volcano Pico do Fogo.

[2] At a maximum elevation of 2,692 metres (8,832 ft),[1] it is the second highest point in the nation behind Pico do Fogo.

Opening to the east, it effectively protects the northern, western and southern part of the island against lava flows from the volcano.

[2] The settlement Chã das Caldeiras lies at the foot of Bordeira, in the caldera.
