Why go on a tour? Those of you with experience know already what the benefits are. To the human body,
walking is as natural as breathing. Once we learn to walk, we never stop. Unless you are confined to a
wheelchair, everybody does some kind of walking every day. Walking can improve your circulation and
prevent heart disease, lower blood pressure and aid the respiratory system and digestion.
Our camping sites have been carefully chosen during our trips. Some are located within the national park,
managed by the Ministry of Agriculture. We expect you to fully comply with the rules and regulations. No
toilet facilities are provided at these sites. No campfires are allowed, and no sample collection – either
animal or plant.

| Once being on the brink of extinction, these highly intelligent and social animals are making a remarkable come-back. They’re being protected by the government, as they are listed as endangered. On The Edge Adventures is raising awareness by hiring local guides to participate in our protection program. However, these animals are still being threatened, especially during rain season, when encroachment on the monkey's habitat brings them into conflict with local population. |
| Cape Verde Hiking - On The Edge Adventures Guided Tours and Trips of Santiago Island |
Cape Verde (pronounced Cabo Verde in Portuguese) is a tropical island country
located west of Africa. It is a lightly populated country with a democratic government.
The islands of Cape Verde enjoy steady warm temperatures all year long. There are
two distinct seasons: the "wet season" runs from July through October and features
light rains about twice a week lasting about an hour each time, while the "dry season"
is the other part of the year.
Scenery varies across the islands, with both wide open spaces and forested valleys.
There are extensive beach areas on each island and a wide variety of ocean sports.
In the cities you will find world-class vacation accommodations, restaurants, and
shops.
