Tours & Activities in Cabo Verde

Cabo Verde is a volcanic archipelago of 10 islands located 570 km off the coast of West Africa, with only nine inhabited.

The country was uninhabited until Portuguese colonization in 1460, making it one of the world's youngest settled archipelagos.

Cabo Verde is home to the endangered loggerhead and green sea turtles, which nest on beaches like Boa Vista's Praia de Santa Mônica.

The archipelago straddles the Sahel and Tropics, creating a unique semi-arid climate with little rainfall and trade winds that earned it the nickname 'Isle of Tranquility.'

Cachupa, a slow-cooked stew of corn, beans, and meat or fish, is considered the national dish and soul food of Cabo Verde.

The musician Cesária Évora, the 'Barefoot Diva,' brought morna and coladeira music from Cabo Verde to global recognition.
