Indagare Insider Journey

October 10-13, 2025

In the company of Indagare founder Melissa Biggs Bradley, guests will meet and spend time with the founder and visionary of Fogo Island Inn, Zita Cobb. Zita will provide background on the design and construction of the inn—an eight-year project. Guests will also have privileged access to Fogo Island Arts, an international residency program, and enjoy numerous outdoor activities—including hiking, bike riding, fishing, foraging (for local berries), stargazing and more amid the island’s tranquil surroundings. This will be a formidable exploration of a wild, remote landscape that you do not want to miss.
