Welcome to Cape Verde! This stunning collection of islands off the coast of West Africa is a must-see destination. Enjoy the beaches, explore the diverse culture, and experience a unique mix of African, Portuguese, and Brazilian influences.

The archipelago is composed of 10 islands, eight of which are inhabited. Cape Verde has something for everyone — whether you want to lounge in the sun, explore the rugged terrain, or try some local cuisine.

The country boasts beautiful landscapes with stunning volcanic mountains and white sand beaches. There are plenty of outdoor activities to choose from including snorkeling, fishing, rock climbing, and windsurfing.

Cape Verde is known as “the land of eternal summer” due to its mild climate year-round. It's also a great place for wildlife enthusiasts. Keep an eye out for rare species such as bottlenose dolphins, loggerhead sea turtles, and humpback whales.

An interesting fact about Cape Verde is that it was once an important port for slave traders in the 16th and 17th centuries, so there are still many reminders of this difficult time around the islands. Despite this history, today Cape Verde is a vibrant nation with a rich culture and beautiful scenery.

So whether you’re looking for some rest and relaxation, or an exciting adventure, Cape Verde has something for everyone. We hope you enjoy your stay!
