Our adventure begins in Lisbon, where we take a flight to Mindelo, located on the Island of São Vicente, which is known as the cultural capital of Cabo Verde.

While there, we enjoy spectacular nature walks along mountain trails and the coastline, experiencing some of the gastronomic and cultural treasures that Cabo Verde has to offer.
