INFO

Day 1
Arrival at Praia Airport, where we breathe in our first puff of Cape Verdean air. And there we go - in 4 strokes, we're ready to go! We are in Santiago, the largest Capeverdean island. The culture, atmosphere, life style are more African than in the rest of the archipelago - for geographical and historical reasons.

Included services:
- Transfer Airport - Hotel
- ON/DBL Hotel Santa Maria, Praia
- (-/-/-)

Day 2-4
We fly to Fogo. Fogo literally means fire and the highest mountain of the whole country, the "pico do fogo" lived up to his name during the last eruption in 2014. The crater area, called Cha das Caldeiras, creates a spectacular scenery with its solidified lava streams around the majestic vulcan. It forms the centre of the island, like a black candle with wax running down alongside until reaching the green agricultural regions, which complete the picture together with the blue of the endless ocean around it.

The island's capital São Filipe is without doubts one of the most beautiful villages in the country and leaves a lasting impression on us with its colonial flair, numerous appealing spaces and its location near the sea with the panoramic view at the neighbour island Brava.

Included services:
- Transfer Hotel – Airport (Santiago)
- Flight Santiago > Fogo
- Transfer Airport - Hotel (Fogo)
- 2x ON/DBL Guesthouse Belavista, São Filipe

Day 5-9
Santiago is the main island of the endearing archipelago and more african than the other islands. It was here, that the hisory of Cape Verde began in the 15th century. In the former capital Cidade Velha, today a UNESCO world heritage site, we can visit the testimonials of the first settlers. Until today the pillory and other historic sites remind us of the sad history of the place, which was once a key element in the atlantic slave trade.

In today's capital Praia we should visit the historic Plateau with its colonial buildings and colorful and vivid markets. Later we pass by the african market Sucupira, which is also full of colors, scents and experiences.

Or maybe we feel like doing an island drive. Santiagos' mountains of vulcanic origin, Assomada with its huge street market on wednesdays and saturdays and the small village Tarrafal in the north with its beautiful white beach are going to impress us.

Santiago provides travellers, who like to wander around or even hike, with many interesting tours through almost untouched nature.

Included services:
- Transfer Airport – Hotel
- 2x ON/DBL Hotel Quinta da Montanha, Rui Vaz
- Transfer Rui Vaz - Tarrafal
- 3x ON/DBL Hotel Casa Strela, Tarrafal

Day 10-13
The most eastern and nearest island to the african mainland is Boavista, which finds itself in a touristic boom. More and more tourists appear at the white and endless beaches. But apart from the resorts and theme restaurants the interested traveler can also find untouched landscapes and residents who live from agriculture. While there are tourists and surfers at the safe bays of the island we can also find desolated beaches and blue lagoons between sand dunes, palm havens and stone deserts.
Visit Boavista searching for relaxing beach vacation and still appreciating particular discoveries.

The island is our personal discovery of winter 2016/17. For a long time Boavista seemed to be "only" a nice alternative to spending beach vacation on Sal. Meanwhile we are able to offer beautiful hikes through the deserts of the island.

- Transfer Hotel - Airport (Santiago)

- Transfer Airport – Hotel (Boavista)
