Cape Verde Sao Vicente And Santo Antao

Welcome to beautiful Cape Verde. Upon arrival at Sao Vicente International Airport, you will be met and greeted by our English-speaking tour representative, who will assist you with the transfer to your hotel in the area of Mindelo. If you’re feeling knackered after the flight, you can stay in the hotel to put your feet up and make the most of the available services. But if you’re itching to start exploring this fascinating island, then hit the streets and make your own way towards those tourist attractions, restaurants or shops that spark your interest, perhaps you will get know morna, the lilted, rhythmic music which slipped into life on the 18th century. Its spiritual leader is Cesaria Evora, by the locals known as a “Barefoot Diva.” Her powerful voice and grasp of melody linger in her birthplace, Mindelo. The “morna” as a musical genre has been classified as Intangible Heritage of humanity by UNESCO. Overnight in Mindelo.

Begin the day with a tasty breakfast at your hotel and get ready for your first cultural experience. Sao Vicente is a cultural hub for Cae Verde, and it is home to some of Cape Verde's greatest musicians, writers, and thinkers. Meet your guide at the hotel and together enjoy a 3-hour walking city tour to the downtown in one of the most beautiful bays in the world and admire the historic city center. Once the tour is over, you can explore this town on your own pale, try the local gastronomy at one of the restaurants, get amused by the rhythm of this vibrant city, and fuse yourself with the morna music. Overnight in Mindelo.

Wake up early to breakfast at your hotel, and get ready for your pick up to Sao Vicente Harboar to embark a ferry to Santo Antao.
