Im this tour we gonna anderstand the history of cape verd, and see the beatifull constrution build by portuguese im century 14. The island of Santiago was discovered by António da Noli, a Genoese in Portuguese service, in 1460. Da Noli settled at Ribeira Grande with his family members and Portuguese from Algarve and Alentejo in 1462. The settling conditions were good due to the abundance of water from the river Ribeira Grande, which gave it an advantage over the other settlement on Santiago, Alcatrazes. The settlement became a key port of call for Portuguese colonisation towards Africa and South America. In the 16th and 17th centuries, it was a centre of maritime trade between Africa, the Cape, Brazil and the Caribbean. Due to its proximity to the African coast, it was an essential platform for the trade of enslaved persons.

From there, we head down the imposing mountain range of the Serra da Malagueta Natural Park to Tarrafal. In this small tourist town we walk over the most beautiful beach in Cape Verde by far. Alternatively, you can also visit the concentration camp from the colonial period. The conclusion is a Groggu - beer - and fruit juice tasting, which only we offer exclusively! Our co-guide Edney can speak English, French and Portuguese. Cape Verde has the motto : No Stress! Get in... enjoy.... Take 1000 photos.... tell us more.
