Welcome to one of Cabo Verde’s most welcoming and beautiful islands! Discover Mindelo, a small, yet vibrant cosmopolitan city, alive with energy day and night. Learn about our rich history, culture, and way of life as you stroll among the city’s colorful colonial architecture and explore its lively markets—the Fish Market, African Market, and Municipal Market (note: closed on Sundays).
From a scenic lookout, take in panoramic views of Mindelo, Monte Cara, and the golden sands of Laginha Beach. Then journey to the island’s highest peak, Monte Verde, a natural protected park with sweeping island views.
We’ll visit charming fishing villages along the coast, swim in the crystal-clear lagoon of Baía das Gatas, and admire the dramatic shoreline of Norte Baia. In Calhau, a peaceful farming and fishing village, see one of the island’s last extinct volcanoes—Vulcão Viana. In the lush Calhau valley, observe traditional farming, local livestock, water wells, and windmills still in use today.
