Cape Verde is an elusive mix of everything. It is a blend of Portugal, a dash of Brazil, a hint of America and a slice of Africa. The archipelago consists of unique islands that offer everything from isolated windswept beaches, mountainous misty forests, giant salt flats and black volcanic lava flows. Each area has a different dialect of Kriolu, special traditional dishes and a unique cultural dance that defines that region. There are top-of-the-line luxury hotels with the latest technology as well as small-town pensions in remote villages, rich in tradition. The most inviting aspect of this country is its ‘morabeza’, the charm, candor and genuine hospitality of its people, and the vibrant, rich diversity of each island.
From luxury to thrill, the islands of Cape Verde offer experiences as varied and exciting as the traveler. They may be known as the Forgotten Islands, but they are anything but forgettable.
