Travel Tips

The best time to visit is from November to June to avoid the rainy season. Pack lightweight clothing, sun protection, and comfortable shoes for walking and outdoor activities. Respect local customs by dressing modestly when visiting religious sites. Stay hydrated and use insect repellent. Carry some cash in Cape Verdean Escudos as card acceptance can be limited. Learning basic Portuguese or Creole greetings enhances interactions with locals.
