After breakfast our first visit in Cabo Verde starts on an a.m. beach walk to the spectacularly pristine beach of Spiaggia di Curralinho, one of the landmark if not the best the area has to offer. During this couple of hours beach walk, you will visit the Ponta da Varandinha cave, walk along the raging waves of the white sandy beach interspersed with eroded rocks and beautiful cliffs. Optionally you can go for a quad ride or a surf, but you must book this earlier. We will go for a barbecue lunch before returning to the hotel in the early afternoon. Later on, we embark on a 4WD appealing excursion to the beach of Cabo Santa Maria best known for the shipwreck, the man-made rock (for personal wishes), and the joyful surrounding villages along the way. Not to miss is the small St Fatima hilltop Church offering a panoramic view. In the evening, we drive back to our hotel for dinner and night.

Breakfast in the morning followed by a relaxed excursion/visit to the Porto Impromptu souvenir Centre where a wide variety of handmade local craft is fabricated and sold for cheap price.  In the middle of the morning we head on for the Praia de Chaves, a beautiful beach full of dunes and stony bends with turquoise colour waters stretching for as long as eyes can see. A couple of hours in this pristine beach enables a spirit-refreshing relaxation, beach walk, and some water activities that can be arranged in advance. In the afternoon, we have optional day tour to the beach of Pria Santa Monica best known foe the purity of its sand. Diner and night in Boa Vista.

Departure to the airport this morning after breakfast to catch up with the domestic flight to Praia the capital of the country in the Santiago Island. Upon arrival at the airport, you are ushered to your private car for the 2hrs scenic drive to Tarrafal.  We will be having a bbq lunch at the Tarrafal beach from where we organize group excursions to Konzentrationslager Colonial Penal de Tarrafal, a centre that recalls the Portuguese colonial past of the country. This place was the prison and was built in the late 1930s when the Spanish Civil War started. It was built to jail lawbreakers from the inland and had used inhuman and cruel methods including force labour in treating its tenants.

In the meanwhile, those who are on the breach can go for swimming, Beachwalk or even hiking the Monte Graciosa Hill. Other water activity can be organized in advance.

From here we head on to Igreja Nossa Senhora do Rosario, the oldest church in the world built by colonial masters in the late 1400; the church still boasts its Manueline Gothic architecture, a testimony of the architecture en vogue during the time it was erected. We continue our way from this church to the remains of the Se Cathedral, the only Mudejar-style church built in Africa.

We end our day tour this day with a stop at the World Heritage Site of Fortaleza Real de San Felipe.

Today we have a quick visit to the Sala-Museu Amilcar Cabral, a history museum dedicated to Cabral Amilcar the most emblematic figure of the independence fight.
