São Vicente: Markets, Mountains, Fishing Villages & Beaches

The guide and driver will meet you at the reception of your hotel or at the exit gate of the harbor in Mindelo, and head for a guided visit to the city center. Depending on the day of the week, you will visit the main attractions of Mindelo, such as the Cultural Center, the vibrant fruit and vegetable market, and the charming central square.

After exploring Mindelo, we'll drive to the highest point of the island – Monte Verde, where you'll enjoy a spectacular panoramic view over the island's volcanic landscape and surrounding coastline.

Next, we'll head to the peaceful fishing village of Salamansa, where you can walk barefoot on the soft white sand beach on the island's northern coast.

We'll then visit the famous Baía das Gatas, a picturesque village known for hosting Cape Verde's biggest music festival. Located just a few kilometers from Mindelo, this beautiful bay offers a tranquil atmosphere and a shallow, warm-water beach — perfect for a refreshing short swim in the Atlantic.

To wrap up this memorable tour, we'll return to our starting point.
