Marina Mindelo Floating Bar

I never really planned to visit Cape 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. ✔️ 10 day itinerary that takes you through Sao Vicente and Santo Antao ✔️ Day by day plan - where to go, what to see and what to do ✔️ Recommendation of the accomodations I stayed at and liked ✔️ Recommendation for places to eat (based on vegan options) ✔️Transport breakdown including costs (public transport, no car needed) ✔️Activities recommendations and cost breakdown ✔️Links to tried and tested hike routes including maps ✔️Local tips and tricks I learned along the way
