About Cabo Verde

Cabo Verde (officially the Republic of Cabo Verde) is an island nation in the central Atlantic Ocean, made up of 10 volcanic islands and several smaller islets. The country covers an area of about 4,033 km² (1,557 sq mi). According to the World Bank, Cabo Verde has a population of approximately 520,500 people, most of whom live on nine inhabited islands.

Cabo Verde is situated about 600 km (373 mi) west of Senegal on the African mainland. The archipelago is divided into two groups of islands: Barlavento (Windward) and Sotavento (Leeward), each offering unique landscapes, culture, and attractions.

The economy of Cabo Verde is strongly dependent on tourism, which accounts for about 25% of the country’s GDP. The islands attract visitors with their beaches, water sports such as surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing, as well as distinctive natural and cultural landmarks.

Cabo Verde is served by Amílcar Cabral International Airport on Sal Island, which handles flights from Europe, Africa, and other regions. Regular domestic flights and ferries connect the islands. Local transportation options include buses, taxis, and rental cars.

Climate

Cabo Verde has a tropical dry climate, strongly influenced by trade winds. The islands enjoy year-round sunshine, very low rainfall, and generally stable weather, making them an excellent destination for beach vacations at any time of year.

The average annual temperature is about 25°C (77°F). The warmest month is August, with average temperatures around 30°C (86°F), while the coolest month is January, averaging about 23°C (73°F).
