Cape Verde is an ideal holiday destination all year round, and winter in Cape Verde is no exception. The mild climate, the deserted beaches, the volcanic mountains, the fresh fish and above all the friendliness of the Cape Verdean people are more than enough reasons to discover this beautiful country.

Winter in Cape Verde

The islands of Santo Antão and Fogo can be very interesting to visit as winter approaches in Cape Verde. Don't forget that winter in Cape Verde is generally warmer than in many other parts of the world. We would like to take you on this discovery with suggestions of what to see and do during this season:

Santo Antão and Fogo Mountains:

If you enjoy hiking and trekking, the mountainous landscapes of these islands offer an excellent opportunity. In winter the temperatures are milder, so your experience will be more comfortable.
