Tours of Cape Verde

Captivating Cape Verde

Located south of the Canary Islands, off the coast of Africa the Cape Verde archipelago is a walkers paradise. With its rugged coastlines and fertile terraced volcanic slopes we have plenty of days to explore four of these beautiful islands. We arrive onto Sao Vicente and have time to explore the colourful town of Mindelo picking up the flavour Creole Portuguese-African culture, before taking a ferry to the most northerly island, Santo Antao. We spend four walking-packed days here amidst the sub-tropical jagged mountains. In stark opposite to the nearby island of Sal with its flat sandy beach and watersports, Santo Antao is lush, mountainous and a haven for walkers. A short flight takes us to the Island of Santiago, which is the largest in Cape Verde. Here we walk in the Serra Malagueta National Park, explore the island and experience the culture of these islands by spending time in the capital city Praia. Our holiday starts and ends in Sal, so that we can take advantage of the direct flights from the UK. This is a super 11 day walking holiday and perfect destination to get away for some winter sunshine.
