Picture Cape Verde's island vibes, with bustling capital, Praia. Amazing, isn't it?

What our customers ask about Cape Verde Tours & Trips
What activities can you actually experience in Cape Verde's local culture and where do they happen?
You'll love getting into Cape Verde's amazing mix of African and Portuguese culture. Join a batuku dance workshop it's this really rhythmic African-style dance that locals perform at festivals especially on Santiago island. Want to learn local cooking? Head to Mindelo in São Vicente where you can join locals making cachupa the national dish - it's this amazing hearty stew that's actually different on each island. Our 16-day Cabo Verde tour includes this and it's always a highlight. For a real slice of island life check out Assomada Market on Santiago Wednesdays and Saturdays where you'll see locals bargaining for produce it's super lively and authentic.
Where can you find Cape Verde's natural areas and how do you best get to them?
There's so much nature to explore beyond the cities in Cape Verde. Serra Malagueta Natural Park on Santiago is incredible with over 124 plant species and 19 different birds you won't find anywhere else - guided tours are definitely the way to go here. Want something really different? The volcanic landscape at Chã das Caldeiras National Park on Fogo feels like you're on the moon you'll need a 4x4 to get there but it's worth it. Monte Verde Natural Park on São Vicente gives you these amazing panoramic views from the highest point and you can either hike up yourself or take a guided tour whatever suits you best.
What are some hidden routes around Cape Verde that travelers really love?
Let me tell you about some amazing lesser-known paths through Cape Verde. The coastal route from Ponta do Sol to Cruzinha on Santo Antão is absolutely stunning you'll walk along dramatic cliffs and through these beautiful villages like Fontainhas which National Geographic actually rated as one of the world's top ten villages for views. Our 11-day island-hopping tour includes this trek and travelers always tell us it's the highlight of their trip the views are just incredible and you really get to know the local communities.
