Tour Details

The island nation of Cape Verde is just under 400 miles off the coast of Africa and is made up of over a dozen islands and islets of vertigo-inducing mountains, crystal blue and white sandy beaches, and seaside villages. The geologic origins of the island chain are from a volcanic hot spot deep in the Atlantic, creating steep craggy mountains and dramatic landscapes

Uninhabited until the 1500’s when Portuguese explorers first discovered the island and used its strategic location for cross-Atlantic trade, the population has rarely exceeded 500,000 people and the majority creole ancestry is of European and West African descent. 

The Cape Verde islands are a place of great contrasts, extremely diverse, with each of the 10 islands offering a different experience. Fortunately, most of these islands are packed with things to do and are becoming increasingly popular for tourists. From hiking up an active volcano to learning to kite surf, relaxing and chilling.

This tour covers 03 of these islands. Santiago, São Vicente, Santo Antão and Sal Island.

Santiago
Cape Verde’s largest and most versatile island. Santiago is the most ‘African’ of all islands and in the capital Santiago you will find a large number of nice restaurants and live music. it will seduce you with its contrasts, its smells. Historic highlights can be found here. For example, the ancient city of Cidade Velha an UNESCO World Heritage Site. It will challenge you in the sites infamous for having been scenes of slavery.
The island is also very mountainous which is ideal for nature lovers and hikers. The number of beaches in Santiago is limited.

São Vicente
Mindelo is the capital of São Vicente and also the culture capital of Cape Verde. Cesaria Evora’s hometown…. This means, a lot of art, music and nightlife. The waters around Sao Vicente are famous for the blue marlin (fish). The landscape of Sao Vicente is barren with brown-red mountains and valleys. In the southwest and east of the island you have beautiful beaches with white sand coming from the Sahara.

Santo Antão
Do not forget you hiking shoes if you visit Santo Antão. This is the paradise for hikers with beautiful trails through the stunning mountains and green valleys. You will find here unspoiled nature, high mountains, impressive cliffs and fairytale-like villages like Fontainhas, inhabited by a population whose kindness and good humour will make you live an unforgettable and timeless experience.
The number of adventure sports and luxury resort hotels is limited. Santo Antao can be reached by ferry.
