An archipelago with a thousand faces
A few hours' flight from Europe, ten islands emerge from the Atlantic like so many volcanic jewels. Each island reveals its own personality: the steep trails of Santo Antão wind between verdant valleys, while the golden dunes of Sal caress a turquoise ocean. The air carries the notes of morna, this melancholic music born from cultural blending, and the colorful markets of Mindelo buzz with conversations in Creole.
A trip to Cape Verde unfolds like a personalized composition between wild nature and authentic encounters, where each island creates its own melody.
What to absolutely see in Cape Verde?
The archipelago reveals its treasures across ten distinct islands. Santo Antão captivates hikers with its lush Paul and Cova valleys, while Santiago is home to the historic capital of Cidade Velha, the first European settlement in tropical Africa. Fogo fascinates with its active volcano and vineyards planted on black lava. Sal and Boa Vista attract with their endless beaches and renowned windsurfing spots. São Vicente shines around Mindelo, the cultural heart of the archipelago where the notes of Cesária Évora resonate.
What type of trip should you choose?
A 10 to 15-day stay allows you to discover three to four islands based on your interests. Hiking enthusiasts favor Santo Antão and Santiago, combined with São Vicente for cultural immersion. Travelers seeking relaxation opt for Sal or Boa Vista, complemented by Fogo for its unique volcanic character. Average budget: €2,200 per person for a tailor-made trip including charming accommodations and an English-speaking local guide.
