Its elevation is 1,482 m.[1] It is a subpeak of the Pico do Fogo volcano, located at the northeastern end of the crater rim.
Its forest is a protected area, part of the larger Fogo Natural Park.
[2] Due to the exposure of northeast winds, Monte Velha is the most humid part of the island.
The annual precipitation shows much variation: in the period 1990-2000 it ranged between 214 and 1,481 mm.
