Cape Verde Travel Guide - An African Adventure
Cape Verde Travel Guide - An African Adventure
Cape Verde is a country in West Africa. It comprises a group of islands of the Atlantic Ocean, west of Senegal. It is part of the region of Islands collectively known as Macaronesia. Cape Verde has won a positive reputation in promoting what is considered the most stable democracy in Africa, a standard of living higher than most African nations, and one of the most politically liberal nations on the continent, and in the world.
Jutting up from the Atlantic, some 500km west of Senegal, this stunning island chain has a captivating blend of mountains, beaches and peaceful seaside villages. On Santo Antão, craggy peaks hide piercing green valleys of flowers and sugar cane, ideal for epic hikes. São Vicente is home to the cultural capital of the islands, Mindelo, which throbs with bars and music clubs. On Sal and Maio, undulating windswept dunes merge with indigo-blue seas on unspoilt beaches of powdery white sand. Meanwhile, far-flung Fogo and Brava in the southwest offer their own enchantments, from surreal volcanic landscapes, to sparkling bays framed by towering peaks. Throw in the constant beat of music that Cabo Verde is famed for and the renowned morabeza (Creole for hospitality) of its people and you’ll see why many have come – and never left.
Cape Verde’s climate is tropical, with a warm, dry summer. As a part of the greater Sahel region of Africa precipitation is meager and falls between the months of June to February, peaking in September. Some islands see almost no rain, these are Sal, Boa Vista and Maio; these are arid. The islands with the most rain fall are Santiago, Fogo and Santo Antao, but are nonetheless semi-arid.
Cape Verde is formed by 10 main islands and about 8 islets. The main islands are :
Santo Antão
Great hiking.
São Vicente
With the cultural capital of Mindelo.
Santa Luzia
Santa Luzia is uninhabited but can be visited as a day trip from São Vicente.
São Nicolau
Rural mountainous island based on agriculture. A quiet and relaxed get away.
Sal
Has great beaches, water sports and resorts aplenty.
Boa Vista
Even nicer beaches. Great scuba diving
Maio
Even more nice beaches.
Santiago Island
The first island settled in Cape Verde. It holds the current capital Praia, the original capital Cidade Velha, and the bulk of the nation's population.
Fogo
A spectacular volcano island which erupted as recently as November 2014.
Brava
A small island only accessible by boat and is a great place to get away from it all.
There are plenty of hotels and guest houses throughout the archipelago. Though the largest hotels are based on the islands of Sal (Riu Funana and Garopa hotels--1000 rooms combined), and Boa Vista (Riu Touareg--881 rooms). Cape Verde has fantastic fresh seafood. Tuna is common, as is Wahoo - a white fleshed fish with similar texture.
There are ferry services between the islands. Depending on the distance between the islands you are going from and to, flying can be significantly shorter but also significantly more expensive.

Pico do Fogo
Deserto de Viana

Cabo Verde (South-America) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Vacation travel video about destination Cabo Verde.
Cabo Verde is a tropical archipelago situated off the coast of Africa with rugged mountains, green valleys and arid deserts, an exotic island paradise set amid the Atlantic. In the north east of the islands is Sal, an island of both wind and sunshine and a strange and exciting world with a volcanic lunar landscape. On the other side of the island, Palmeira, otherwise known as Pedra Lume, is Sal’s most important port from which the whole of the island’s maritime trade is handled. Santiago lies in the south and is the largest island in the achipelago and is where the Portuguese, as the first settlers, set up a military station. The family genes and traditions of two continents have produced a population with various characteristics of both culture and lifestyle. The islands offer many kinds of fresh food as well as products from around the world. São Vicente is a centre of culture and its colourful mansions are reminiscent of the heyday of the original city. Explorer Diego Alfonso would not have dreamed that one day the port would become a large maritime coal storage depot indeed, the first overseas telephone cable was laid through it. Great explorers once sailed in this region where fishing and salt defined the islanders’ lives. All around, volcanic mountains, desert landscapes and tropical valleys. Each island is unique and each has its own special charm. Cabo Verde – dreamy islands of Light and Beauty!

Winded Voyage 4 | Episode 34 | Ice Queen Or Salted Nut? Exploring The Salt Ponds
The Salinas de Pedra de Lume is now a tourist attraction where people bathe and float is the densely salted pools like in the Dead Sea. We spend a day there and Nat becomes the Ice Queen or Salted nut? Exploring the salt ponds of Pedra De Lume is a lot of fun as you will see. The island is called Sal because of it's salt production which used to be very lucrative. They called it the White Gold. It's no longer the case today. The infrastructure is abandoned but the salt ponds are still there and salt is still harvested. As well there are mud pools so we get wicked salty and really dirty. We clean our act up and actually do some sailing to the next anchorage in our quest to circumnavigate the island.
Aleader Watershoes or water shoes are the best shoes ever for land & water.That's just my opinion. But I mean it! Order them here with a discount. Price starts at less than $30!
