Cabo Verde's Absolute Essentials

Cabo Verde’s diverse geography is defined by the active stratovolcano of Pico do Fogo, rising 2,829 meters, and the shifting sand dunes of the Viana Desert. This selection spans the white sandy beaches of Sal and Boa Vista to the quieter, eastern shores of Maio Island. Key landmarks include the historic ruins of the Cabo Santa Maria shipwreck and the colonial-style Igreja de Santa Isabel in Sal Rei, offering a glimpse into the archipelago's Portuguese and African heritage.
