Cabo Verde in 10 days 🇨🇻 Sao Vicente and Santo Antao

I never really planned to visit Cabo Verde until I ended up there during sailing trip. And I'm so glad I did because it's such an undiscovered gem! So much so that I came back a year later and spend a few weeks exploring the islands. In this guide I'll take you through the two northern islands as I found them the most interesting and beautiful. The focus of the trip is nature, hiking, diving, sun, music and culture. If you're thinking about visiting Cabo Verde take this as your sign, they will not disappoint. The recommendations in the guide are mostly toward budget travellers as that's how I usually travel. If you're hoping to get more luxurious holiday all you'll need to change is the accomodations. Otherwise this guide is suitable for all pockets.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hi! My name is Aleks and I have been full-time travelling for the last 7 years. During that time I visited 4 continents and 37 countries and am still discovering more. My travels started during my university years, which often meant a tight budget. Instead of giving up travel I just decided to become resourceful and find the perfect itineraries that still fit my tight budget and let me explore the world. On this account, I will be sharing many of the tips and tricks I learned along the way as well as full itineraries that I did and you can follow.
My first years of travel were typical backpacking style, hostels, moving from place to place many people and experiences. But as time went by I was also able to do more comfort travel, renting a car with friends and going on road trips. Either way, before every trip, I spend weeks planning and researching and it's one of my favourite parts of the adventure. However, I know it can be overwhelming and tedious at times so I decided to share my research and my itinerary with you.
At the moment I still mostly do backpacking-style trips - many destinations, constantly on the move and discovering as much as possible. So if you are looking for an active itinerary you found a perfect place!
