Adventure destination

Cape Verde

Cape Verde is a strong Atlantic island walking destination, especially on Santo Antao and Fogo, where volcanic ridges, coastal trails, and village paths give real substance. This works especially well for travelers who want warm-weather hiking with good scenery and manageable logistics.
