Located along the Atlantic Ocean, 500 km (310.69 mi) west of Senegal, Cape Verde comprises a captivating chain of islands renowned for their breathtaking scenery. These islands boast majestic mountains, exquisite beaches and tranquil villages. Pico do Fogo, the highest peak in Cape Verde and an active volcano, is a must-visit attraction. Despite its volcanic nature, this mountainous region also cultivates coffee. For those interested in history, the Tarrafal Concentration Camp, now transformed into a museum, offers a compelling visit. Additionally, explore Pedra do Lume, a crater resembling the moon, created by an ancient volcano. Don’t miss out on visiting Dja'r Fogo, the island’s premier café, doubling as an art gallery and information centre.

To explore such a beautiful place would require you to stay for quite a couple of days. Scroll down for the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Cape Verde.
