Tour Overview
We invite you to come with us and discover 2 islands belonging to Cape Verde's archipelago. A diversity of breathtaking landscapes. A journey focused on sharing, conviviality, meeting and authenticity. São Vicente is known as the little Brazil of the African coast. Mindelo is the capital of music and culture. At nightfall, we will be captivated by the warm voices singing "saudade", but also the joy of the people. Santo Antão the pearl of the Atlantic with its fertile valleys with banana plantations and sugar cane fields where local products will no doubt enchant you with their heady flavors and smells. The paths rise to ridges and quickly open onto balconies above the ocean. And everywhere resounds the Atlantic surrounding these universes with magical accents!

Where should I buy the flights to reach my destination?
Today Voyages does not sell flights directly. None of our tours come with flights included. Why?
