    According to local people running some restaurants or hotel, local people are not so keen on saving the environment. It's reported that in Boavista they do not have any official garbage collection point ... in the pic u can see the results !
    Some areas are fully crowded with empty beer bottles & some other kind of garbage.

    Be careful not to walk without shoes in these area cause a lot of broken bottles are there and you can really get damages !

    Leave area close to Sal Rei; walking 20 minutes is usually enough to find desert & wonderful beaches.

  • Just like in any other country, you might fall into many traps only because you cannot say a word of the local language. But I believe that all VT friends and people browsing VT pages are enlightened enough to learn at least the very basics. Hope I can help you with crioulo. When you try to use it in real action, do not forget that the slang is slightly different on each of the islands.

    Good luck!

    The best way to visit the several islands of Cape Verde is to go by plane. Unluckly the flights are often delayed or cancelled, so it's hard to organize a day trip to another island. You can go with the tours organized by the resorts, but they are a little expensive.
