Tour Itinerary
This is a two week itinerary
Arriving first on the island of Boa Vista to start your exciting holiday -
São Vicente is a dusty, mountainous island. Monte Verde, the highest point on the island has some impressive views from the summit. The best view of the capital Mindelo is from Fortim d'El Rei, the old fort located on the headland to the east of the city. On the other side of the harbour is Monte Cara or 'Face Mountain' as it is known, a mountain with a human profile sculptured into it by erosion.
In Santo Antão, the jagged peaks, deep crevices, harsh volcanic walls, jaw dropping ravines and villages clinging to the sides of mountains are some of the most impressive sights in the archipelago. Although most tourists come to Santo Antão to hike the ribeiras, the views from the precarious roads can be appreciated by all. Highest Peak 1979m.
The rest of the trip is a more relaxing affair with time spent on Boa Vista. The landscape on Boa Vista is ever changing with the spectacular moving with the winds. Saharan like oasis' are dotted around the interior and depending on the time of year, turtles can be spotted on some of the beaches. A plethora of watersports awaits and in addition to the white sandy beaches.
