Santiago: Roots & Mountains
The island where Cape Verde began, history, mountains and Creole soul.
Privately-guided trips on Santiago and Sal, boutique stays, born-and-raised local guides, and 24/7 support the whole way. A focused week or an unhurried two. For about half what the big tour companies charge.
Santiago, Sal, or both, each as a focused week or an unhurried fortnight. Privately guided, flights excluded (we'll help you book them), priced to undercut the big names.
The island where Cape Verde began, history, mountains and Creole soul.
Turquoise water, a volcano you float in, and the country's best beach.
Both islands, one trip, Santiago's roots and mountains, then Sal's turquoise shore.
The big operators quote $3,500–$4,000 for Cape Verde. We run the same privately-guided idea for about half, by working directly with our own people in Santiago and Sal.
Every touring day is led by a born-and-raised guide who actually lives there. Kriolu, Português, English, and the corners that never make the guidebook.
Someone on the ground you can reach at any hour. If a flight moves or plans wobble, we've usually fixed it before it's even your problem.
International airfare isn't included, you'll get the best fare booking your own, but we'll help you find the right flights, and we handle the inter-island hop.
Message us on WhatsApp or book a free 20-minute consult. We learn your pace, taste and budget.
We send a day-by-day itinerary for Santiago, Sal or both, a focused week or an unhurried two, adjusted until it's yours.
Confirm with a 25% deposit. We book the stays, guides, transfers and the inter-island flight, and help you sort your international flights.
Land in Cape Verde. Your local guide is waiting, and we're a text away the entire trip.
“Cidade Velha with a guide whose grandmother grew up there. You can't Google that.”
“Half the price I was quoted elsewhere and somehow more personal. Floated in a volcano. Unreal.”
“Our flight got shifted and they'd already rearranged everything before we landed. The 24/7 thing is real.”
Tell us your dates and we'll send a curated plan within 48 hours. No pressure, no call-centre, just us and the islands.
