Vacation to the Cape Verde

​Tips for Cabo Verde tourism

Picture
Cabo Verde, or Cape Verde which is called in English, is the former Portuguese colony that sits roughly 375 miles off of the coast of West Africa. The very name with the capital, "Praia" ("beach" in Portuguese), speaks for the virtues on the islands to be a tropical getaway. Although Cape Verde's lush, green islands have long been recognized to Portuguese vacationers, they remain a well-kept secret on the wider world, causing them to ideal for an off-the-beaten-track beach trip.
  • ​​Entry and Getting There
A visa is needed to travel to Cape Verde, along with the US Department of State recommends applying upfront through the Embassy of Cape Verde in Washington, D.C., or Consulate General in Boston. Thirty-day and 90-day multiple entry visas are offered.
Most flights to Cape Verde get right to the capital of Praia on Sao Tiago Island or about the island of Sal ("salt"). Most flights originate in Lisbon, Portugal, but direct connections from your United States can be obtained through Atlanta, Boston and New York.
  • Safety and Health
​As a rule, Cape Verde can be a safe place to check out, along with the State Department warns not of crime or political unrest but in the strong surf and undertow on the country's beaches. Visitors should absorb beach markers concerning the safety of local waters, in case none is there inquire with locals before swimming.
In regards to health issues, the car battery of vaccinations endorsed with the Centers for Disease Control for travelers to Cape Verde are standard and suited to travel even going to developed countries. 
Tap water, however, really should be treated as suspect. Malaria can be a concern for any person entering the hawaiian islands through Praia, considering that the CDC has labeled Sao Tiago Island to be a malarial place. Travelers to Sao Tiago should bring antimalarial drugs making vigilant by using insect repellent sprays.
  • Sal Island
​Sal is the main tourist destination in Cape Verde. Santa Maria, for the southern end in the island, could be the major tourist capital of scotland- Cape Verde which is packed with restaurants, bars and hotels. Lovely, green-fringed tropical beaches extend rid of town. The beaches around Santa Maria, including Ponta Preta, hold the kind of swells and winds that thrill windsurfers and surfers, although not ordinary swimmers. Sal also may be the major center for scuba in Cape Verde.
  • The Other Islands

Santo Antao is the second largest from the Cape Verde Islands and created Lonely Planet's "Top Picks" list to the hiking trails that run through its pine forests and steep canyons. The adventurous and fans of volcanism will need to pay a visit to Mount Fogo ("fire"). To climb the present smoldering volcano and it is 9,281-foot peak requires trekking over the moonscape of the much older caldera. The islands of Sao Tiago, Boa Vista and Brava have beaches but usually are not quite as developed for tourism as Sal.
  • Climate
Lonely Planet describes Cape Verde as "pleasant year-round." The rainy season runs from mid-August to mid-October, but still rains are infrequent. Monsoon-type daily downpours usually are not the norm on Cape Verde. Steady sea breezes keep Cape Verde cool, especially considering its tropical location, and daytime highs rarely exceed the mid-80s F.
