Excursions on the island of SANTIAGO

Experience the excitement of Santiago, the must-see island of Cape Verde, where golden beaches, historic streets and colourful markets come together for an authentic adventure. Santiago seduces with its vibrant contrasts, blending modernity and ancestral traditions. Santiago, the largest of the Cape Verde islands, is a cultural and historical melting pot. The island is home to the capital Praia, the beating heart of the archipelago, where modernity meets colonial vestiges. The lively streets of the old town invite you to stroll among the stalls of traditional markets, where local produce and authentic crafts tell the story of a people proud of its origins. The fine sandy beaches and turquoise waters offer an idyllic setting in which to relax after an immersion in the hustle and bustle of the city. Nature lovers will be delighted by Santiago's unspoilt countryside. Hikes in the lush hills reveal exceptional panoramas and surprising biodiversity. Historical remains, such as fortresses and centuries-old churches, bear witness to a rich and tumultuous past marked by cultural exchanges. Santiago is also where tradition meets modernity, where local festivals set the pace of life and where the flavours of Cape Verdean cuisine delight the taste buds. This dynamic island offers a multitude of activities: from discovering its colonial heritage to exploring its natural areas and lively nightlife. Each corner of Santiago reveals a different facet of the Cape Verdean soul, combining modernity, history and authenticity in an enchanting setting that leaves no one indifferent.
