Complete Cap-Vert guide

The Cape Verde archipelago stretches 500 km from the Senegalese coast, scattered across ten inhabited islands separated by contrasts: the mineral dryness of Sal and Boa Vista on one side, the green valleys of Santo Antão on the other. From our agency based in Praia, on Santiago, we craft stays that combine at least two islands, since each tells a different story of Creole settlement born in the 15th century.

On Santo Antão, paved trails connect Ponta do Sol to Cova through sugarcane valleys and villages perched at 1000 m. São Vicente, and its city of Mindelo, concentrates the musical life inherited from Cesária Évora: bars on Lisboa street program morna and coladeira almost every evening. Fogo, a volcanic island dominated by Pico at 2829 m, shelters a village built within the caldera itself, where vines are cultivated on black ash. Sal and Boa Vista, flatter and more arid, attract those seeking long beaches and kitesurfing from November to April.

For a first trip, plan 10 to 14 days and a maximum of two to three islands: domestic flights and ferries require time. We guide you based on the season and your pace.
