Overview
Discover the diverse landscapes, rich culture and warm hospitality of Cape Verde on this fascinating journey through the islands of São Vicente and Santo Antão. Combining sightseeing, scenic exploration and gentle walks, this holiday offers the perfect introduction to one of the Atlantic’s most captivating destinations.
On your way to Cape Verde, flight arrangements allow you to enjoy an overnight stay in the popular Portuguese capital of Lisbon. Here, you will explore the city on a guided tour, taking in some of its historic landmarks, elegant squares and vibrant atmosphere before continuing your journey to the islands. This added stop provides a wonderful opportunity to experience two distinct destinations in one holiday.
Arriving in São Vicente, you begin your exploration in Mindelo, the cultural heart of Cape Verde. Colourful colonial buildings, bustling markets, lively waterfronts and a rich musical heritage make this charming city a delight to discover. From here, a scenic ferry crossing takes you to Santo Antão, an island renowned for its spectacular scenery and authentic way of life.
Throughout your stay, you will experience an ever-changing landscape of dramatic volcanic mountains, fertile valleys, rugged coastlines and picturesque fishing villages. Visit the famous clifftop village of Fontaínhas, enjoy panoramic views from Pico da Cruz, explore the lush Paul Valley and discover the beauty of the peaceful Cova crater. Along the way, you will gain an insight into traditional island life and the resilience of the local communities who call these remarkable landscapes home.
Returning to São Vicente, you will visit the tranquil bay of Baía das Gatas, the fishing village of Salamansa and enjoy further time exploring Mindelo’s cultural and historical attractions.
With comfortable accommodation, expert guiding and a carefully paced itinerary, this holiday is ideal if you enjoy spectacular scenery, authentic cultural experiences and leisurely sightseeing in a destination that remains refreshingly unspoilt.
