Photos which will make you want to visit Cape Verde

A selection of some of our favourite photography from across the archipelago...

Here’s a collection of our favourite images from the Cape Verde islands – from the endless sand dunes of Boa Vista to the volcanoes of Fogo, to the mountains of Santo Antão and the fishing boats of Sal, and not forgetting the vibrant Carnival which takes place on São Vicente. We’re hoping that these images will spark your curiosity to find out more about this still very undeveloped holiday destination, and fall in love with it as much as we have!
