Santiago Tour!

Welcome to Santiago Island!

Image

The largest island in the archipelago and the first to be populated, Santiago is rich in history and culture and known for its lively nightlife. The various mountainous peaks of the island reflect its volcanic origin, with many cultural and historical places to visit, and beautiful white and black sand beaches too. The mountains surrounded are really impressive.

Santiago island is the home to Cabo Verde’s capital, Praia, Santiago is an island rich in history, also functioning as the main hub for inter-island transport across the country. Green valleys and lush plantations meet rugged mountains and bustling African towns, offering visitors yet another side to CaboVerde’s impressive diversity.

The country’s old capital, Cidade Velha (Old City), was the first city to be built by Europeans in West Africa, and today is a registered UNESCO World Heritage Site, having once acted as the main slave trading point between Africa, Europe and America. Visitors can explore the Old City and gain an insight into where Cabo Verde history began.

For an authentic experience take an excursion that includes a trip to the colourful African market where you will see how the locals socialise and shop for their everyday needs.
