SAL, CAPE VERDE: Travel Guide to Beaches & ALL Top Sights in 4K + Drone
Cape Verde is a tropical paradise off the coast of Africa. The islands are popular holiday destinations for Europeans and therefore also for the Dutch. What is there to do? For example, I often heard that Cape Verde would not have much to offer. Nothing is less true. Watch the video and see for yourself that Cape Verde has much more to offer than a few beaches and coves. In this episode you see the island of Sal with the cozy town of Santa Maria, the capital Espargos, the wonderful Olho Azul, the Salinas, Kite Surf Beach and Shark Bay, where the sharks swim between your legs!
This year we travel all over the world and after the Canary Islands and Oman Cape Verde is our third destination. In this episode we start on the island of Sal and the next episode we also visit the island of Boa Vista.
Follow us on this world trip, first in Cape Verde and then to many more beautiful destinations! We travel non-stop all year round and film everything. Also take a look at instagram @woutoftheworld or

❤️About it?
Cape Verde is an archipelago of ten volcanic islands, nine of which are inhabited, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, roughly 600 kilometers west of Senegal and off the coast of Africa.
☁️Weather
The Cape Verde islands are a lovely tropical getaway because of their 24° to 30°C average annual temperature range. Travelers frequently return to Cape Verde because of the country’s prolonged, continuous sunny hours and low humidity levels. Additionally, several islands see more excellent waves between November and March due to stronger winds, which is especially advantageous for those who enjoy water sports.
In today's video, we look at Cape Verde Getaway: What They Don't Want You to Know! Keep watching to discover the top things to do in Cape Verde's Sal Island and Boa Vista. Explore the islands on a Cape Verde tour, or enjoy the beautiful coastline with a catamaran cruise. Stay in style at Hotel Riu Palace Santa Maria Sal Cabo Verde, and visit Buracona Cape Verde to see stunning rock formations. Learn about Cape Verde's economy while touring Boa Vista, and plan your trip for the best experience. With gorgeous beaches and unique culture, Cape Verde is the perfect holiday destination.

The Secret Paradise Island We'd Never Heard Of (Santo Antão, Cape Verde) | Ep. 58
Hello! In this video, we're in Cape Verde in Mindelo and are taking a ferry across to the island of Santo Antão which is very close but you can't really go with the boat as there's nowhere to anchor.
We have family visiting, so we stay there for a few days and go and explore this island that is a real hidden gem! We do lots of hikes (if you would like more info on any of the hikes/places let us know in the comments), and are surrounded by greenery, fruit trees and sugarcanes! The whole island was really atmospheric and we couldn't believe how untouched it still was to tourism. A big highlight of our trip so far. Hope you enjoy discovering it with us!

Cabo Verde - Pearl of Africa | San Antão - São Vicente - Santiago | Cinematic travel & drone video
This is a cinematic video report of our 9 day trip to Cabo Verde in february 2022. I could fly my drone everywhere I wanted, or at least where the wind permitted it. I'm glad I brought my Air 2S, because my mini 2 would certainly have struggeled to fight the wind.
Cabo Verde is a small African country, but it's ten islands are so diverse. People here are really helpful and friendly, the food is fantastic and there are plenty of things to discover. It's impossible to select just a few of the best locations to visit in Cabo Verde, because there's so much to choose from.

Cabo Verde (Africa) Vacation Travel Video Guide
✱ 655 Hotels in Cabo Verde - Lowest Price Guarantee ►
Travel video about destination Cabo Verde.
Cape Verde is an exotic island world, an archipelago off the coast of West Africa it combines the flair of the Canaries with the charm of Africa. Explorers Christopher Columbus and Vasco Ad Gama lay anchor there in order to replenish supplies and repair their ships. It was not until 1445 that the fifteen islands were discovered and consequently became a Portuguese colony. We begin in the north east of the islands, in Sal. Crystal blue sea and endless sandy beaches, islands of both wind and sunshine with a volcanic lunar landscape twenty five kilometres long and twelve kilometres wide. Sal owes its name and colonization to its once most important export of salt which was to be found in huge quantities. Baia Da Fontana, close to Palmeira, appears like a shady oasis with various green trees that provide welcome shelter from the heat and in the background the dominant Monte Leste volcano where the slopes reach down to the shore and the splendid rock pools of Buracona. Mindelo, situated on the island São Vicente, is considered to be the cultural centre of the archipelago in which typical Creole art has been preserved. Sparse, raw and untamed it is dominated by powerful, almost mystical mountains. Santo Antão is an island of mountains, wind and water and the second largest island of Cape Verde. Its most important route is a road over the high mountains. The views of the Paúl Valley take the breath away. A fairytale world of stone which looks truly surreal. Against the background of the scenery, clouds entangle themselves within the mountains and provide life-giving moisture. Each island is unique and possesses its own special charm. Cabo Verde - islands full of light and joie de vivre!

Urlaub auf den Kapverden | ARD Reisen
Sattgrüne Berge, endlose Strände, lebhafte Städte: Die kapverdischen Inseln sind vielfältig und jede Insel ist ein eigener kleiner Kosmos. (Noch mehr Reise-Video gibt's in der ARD Mediathek: ) Nina Heins und Jonas Weinhold stürzen sich ins Abenteuer Inselhopping und starten ihre Reise auf der Insel Boa Vista.

26:35 Santo Antão
36:57 Santiago
44:24 Verabschiedung
Rund 600 Kilometer von Senegals Hauptstadt Dakar entfernt, liegt die östlichste Insel Boa Vista. Die endlos langen Sandstrände sind Anziehungspunkt für Sonnenhungrige und ein wichtiger Nistplatz für Meeresschildkröten. Hier erleben Nina und Jonas den magischen Moment, wenn sich 80 Schildkrötenbabies gleich nach dem Schlüpfen auf den Weg in den Atlantik machen. Mindelo auf der Insel São Vicente ist die zweitgrößte Stadt der Kapverden und gilt als heimliche Hauptstadt. Hier dreht sich alles um Musik und Kultur und um den Karneval. Nach brasilianischem Vorbild wird hier gefeiert und Nina darf bei den Proben einer Sambagruppe selbst zur Trommel greifen. Die Reise führt die beiden weiter auf die Wanderinsel Santo Antão auf der sie nicht nur die üppige Landschaft kennenlernen, sondern auch ins Alltagsleben eintauchen. In einem kleinen Dorf lernt Nina das Nationalgericht Cachupa zuzubereiten. Santiago gilt als die afrikanischste der kapverdischen Inseln und das erleben beide auf den bunten Märkten der Hauptstadt Praia. In Cidade Velha tauchen sie in die Geschichte der Insel ein. Hier legten die ersten portugiesischen Siedler auf den Kapverden an.

SANTA MARIA - Sal Island - Cape Verde (4K)
SANTA MARIA, Sal Island, Cape Verde.
Music: #santamaria #capeverde #santamariasalisland #caboverde @dnbtravels
Santa Maria is a Town in Cape Verde on the southern tip of Sal Island.
Santa Maria (Portuguese for Saint Mary) is a city in the southern part of the island municipality of Sal, Cape Verde. It is located on the south coast, about 16 km south of the Amílcar Cabral International Airport, and 20 km south of the island capital Espargos.
Santa Maria was founded in 1830 for the production of salt. Up to 30,000 tons of salt were shipped from Santa Maria each year. A pier was built in the area of Ponta de Vera Cruz and a small rail track was built to carry the salt to the pier. Most of the product was exported to Brazil, which was halted in 1887 when Brazil imposed a high tax on imported salt to protect its own salt production. The town went into a deep decline, only to recover in 1920 when a Portuguese investor resumed salt production. This continued until 1984. In 1935, Santa Maria was elevated from a village to a town.
In 1967, Belgian industrialists and engineers Georges Vynckier and Marguerite Massart opened Cape Verde's first resort hotel named Morabeza. After 1986, tourism became an important industry on the island, and many resorts and hotels were built in the southern and southwestern coastal areas near Santa Maria. In 2017, 48.2% of the country's available beds were on the island of Sal.

Transcript:
Think back 10 years ago. Had you heard of Cape Verde? Not quite African and not quite Portuguese, a vibrant mix of both worlds. The islands of Cape Verde are as beautiful as they are mysterious. It was the transatlantic slave trades that put these islands on the map and ten years ago, TUI put them on the tourist trail and the industry boomed. It's no surprise but the constant beat of traditional music, turquoise seas, sandy beaches, world-class surf and surreal lunar landscapes. I've been given the opportunity to travel 2,700 miles across the Atlantic to visit Sal, an island steeped in history and natural wonders, where suddenly there are more tourists than locals. I want to engage with its people, absorb its unique culture and at this most critical time in our planet's history, dig deeper into the reality of tourism and learn how we as tourists can improve the way we travel to ensure a sustainable future for an industry we all love. We've been guided along the way by two amazing charities; the TUI Care Foundation and the Travel Foundation who work closely with local businesses and hotels. This trip was to become one of the biggest eyeopeners of my travels to date. So let's go back to the beginning. At Holiday Extras we believe in making simple choices to improve the way we travel, to find solutions that benefit the environment and lessen our negative impact on a destination so our journey began in an airport lounge at Gatwick, ideal if you're trying to avoid buying plastic whilst filling up on delicious food before your flight. We chose to fly direct to Sal with TUI Airways, the world's most carbon efficient airline. And upon landing we were met by our prefect transfer driver who took us straight to our greener hotel on the southwest coast of the island. So we're starting our day having breakfast with a view. It kind of reminds me of what the moon would look like. It's very rocky but that view is just gorgeous and we're not wasting any time, we're starting today with an island tour and this is with the company called Explore CV, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what today has an offer. Booking an excursion on a trip can be the highlight of any holiday but we want to emphasize the importance of finding a responsible tour company. Explore Cape Verde were recommended to us by the Travel Foundation for being passionate about the island's wildlife, whilst providing eco-conscious excursions. We booked on an island tour and our tour guide Jordi was a knowledgeable marine biologist. The tour started in the coastal town of Santa Maria at the fishing pier which is the soul of the island. Jordi showed us around and explained that the fisherman returned around 11:00 a.m. every morning to their wives who are waiting at the pier ready to sell the catch. If it's the locals fisherman's it is a sustainable fishing we also sell the rights for the European Union to fish here in Cape Verdean waters. Cape Verde got its independence in 1975. As a former Portuguese colony, they absorbed the Portuguese influence and their blood. Mixed with the Africans who settled here, essentially created their own race Creole. It's like cultural to jump from the pier. If you come here and you didn't jump you cannot say that you've been in Sal. The no stress lifestyle here it seems the whole time. Next up we visited a natural reef, a popular feeding area for lemon sharks and a place for tourists to safely see them in the wild. You can rent water shoes to protect your feet from the rocks and carefully wade in to watch them hunt. Jordi's care and consideration for the sharks was very clear, insisting we keep a fair distance as not to disturb them. Other guides let their groups go as far as they wanted, some even chased the curious parts which reminded me of the importance of booking with a responsible company.
