Cape Verde Guided Tours - Cultural Tips

We suggest that you consider several activities to fill your vacation time while visiting Cape
Verde. Highlights will be: hiking, water sports, diving, fishing, cycling, history, music, and
festivals.

Even though it is impossible to foresee every situation that might happen, you should choose
carefully the time of year and the way you travel if you plan to visit more than one island in
order to get the most out of Cape Verde.

Compared to other African countries, the cost of living in Cape Verde is considered high.
Expect to pay European prices for most goods and services. If you plan to visit more than
one island allow yourself plenty of time and decide beforehand whether you prefer to travel by
plane or by boat.

Culturally speaking there is little corruption or bribery in Cape Verde, but you should agree on
prices before hand. There is a strong history of cosmopolitanism in Cape Verde - after all
Cape Verdeans have been traveling the world for centuries and you will always find a family
that has a relative living abroad.
