Foreword
Cape Verde runs in my veins.
I am Cape Verdean, and I live for this country. For a morna rising one evening in Mindelo and silencing an entire terrace. For the smell of a cachupa that has been simmering since morning. For the silence of the valleys of Santo Antão and the raw power of the volcano on Fogo. For a word that cannot be translated, morabeza: our unique way of welcoming a stranger as one of the family.
My dream is simple: that every traveller leaves Cape Verde with a little of our soul, and the urge to come back.
As a group travel professional, I work every day with travel agencies and tour operators, and I know what you need. I created Atlas & Aura to put that experience at the service of my country: local suppliers chosen one by one, clear terms, and always the truth about seasons and connections.
The archipelago
Nine islands, nine journeys.
Cape Verde is not one destination: every island has its own landscape, pace and culture. We operate on six islands every day and arrange the other three on request.
Mindelo, the cultural capital: morna, carnival and harbour life.
A hiker’s paradise: green valleys and clifftop trails.
Praia, UNESCO-listed Cidade Velha and the African soul of the country.
The 2,829 m volcano, its vineyards and its coffee.
Santa Maria beaches, the salt flats of Pedra de Lume, turquoise sea.
Endless beaches, whales in spring, turtles in summer.
Wild beaches and absolute calm, far from it all.
Mountains and villages off the beaten track.
The island of flowers, the archipelago’s best kept secret.

Experiences
The days people talk about long after.
