Description
Begin your tour with a scenic drive up Monte Verde, the highest point on the island at 774 meters. Enjoy 360-degree views of Mindelo, the volcanic crater of Calhau, and even the neighboring islands of Santo Antão and Santa Luzia on clear days.
Next, head to the north coast to visit the picturesque fishing village of Salamansa, known for its authentic atmosphere and as a top kitesurfing spot on the island. Continue along the coast to Baía das Gatas, a stunning natural lagoon with crystal-clear, calm waters surrounded by mountains, where the famous annual music festival takes place.
Proceed to Praia Grande, where impressive light sand dunes brought by the winds from the Sahara Desert meet the waves of the Atlantic Ocean, creating an unforgettable visual contrast. The tour also includes a stop at the agricultural village of Calhau, located at the foot of extinct volcanoes, and the picturesque Madeiral Valley.
Throughout the journey, enjoy the company of a local guide, comfortable air-conditioned private transportation, and strategic photo stops at the island’s best landscapes.
