Cape Verde

Last updated: 2026

Cape Verde offers a striking mix of volcanic landscapes, deep valleys, and dramatic mountain scenery, far beyond its well-known beaches. Santiago showcases rugged highlands and fertile interior valleys, São Vicente combines arid desert hills with cultural urban energy, and Santo Antão is a hiker’s paradise of towering cliffs, green ravines, and terraced slopes. Together, these islands make Cabo Verde a compelling destination for travelers drawn to raw nature, trekking, and powerful Atlantic landscapes.
