Handige praktische reisgids voor het eiland Sao Nicolau in ringband.

 

Der Individualreisende steht auf den Kapverden vor zwei hauptsächlichen Schwierigkeiten: Unterkünfte und Aktivitäten. Wo gut unterkommen und was vor Ort unternehmen? Zu viele Unterkünfte bieten wenig und kosten dennoch viel. Bis man schließlich herausgefunden hat, wo sich gut wohnen lässt, ist der Urlaub fast schon vorbei. Ähnliches gilt für Aktivitäten. Vor Ort sind die nötigen Informationen, was man wo und wie unternehmen kann, meist nur mühsam zu beschaffen.

Hier setzt der Reiseführer an. Er liefert detaillierte und realistische Informationen über regionale Angebote und Möglichkeiten. Um diesem Anspruch gerecht zu werden, wird unser Reiseführer alle ein bis zwei Jahre aktualisiert. Manches ändert sich dort aber schneller.

Der São Nicolau-Reiseführer bietet u.a. konkrete Informationen über:

Land und Leute,

den Umgang mit Taxen und Aluguers,

die Anreise über den internationalen Flughafen auf Sal,

die Überbrückung auf Sal bis zur Weiterfahrt nach São Nicolau

The new, thoroughly updated eighth edition of Bradt’s Cape Verde (Cabo Verde) remains the most detailed and extensive English-language guidebook available to this alluring Atlantic archipelago, described by some as ‘Africa light’. Stable and peaceful, quietly isolated by its mid-Atlantic location, malaria-free, and with year-round sun, Cabo Verde’s appeal to independent travellers is a natural one – with its unique island geography making it somewhat of an adventure to navigate beyond the more conventional single-island visit of the increasing numbers of package tourists.

 

The archipelago is diverse, particularly in terms of its tourist infrastructure. Sal and Boavista, the oldest of these volcanic islands, boast white-sand beaches that rival those anywhere in the world, and are complemented by dream windsurfing and kitesurfing opportunities, courtesy of strong breezes and powerful Atlantic waves. Consequently, these two islands attract 95% of Cape Verde’s visitors, leaving the other seven inhabited islands undeveloped – and awaiting discovery.

 

Hikers, music-fans and those curious to experience something more authentically Cabo Verdean are drawn to these seven islands. Lace up your walking boots to trek amid the jaw-dropping mountainous landscapes of Fogo or Santo Antão. Or take time out in tiny Brava or mellow Maio. Or let your internal culture-vulture revel in the fusion of African, Portuguese and Brazilian influences that courses through the cities of Praia and Mindelo, with their constant backdrop of seductive music (or February’s raucous carnival!) – the aural thread that ties together these islands scattered across the mid-Atlantic.

 

Although Sal and Boa Vista’s all-inclusives dominate the tourist market, they are increasingly joined by small, independently owned eco-lodges across all islands, complemented by an upswing in the quality and accessibility of traditional pensão and homestays. Throw in coffee and wine, and an authentic culture of organic food, and you have a recipe for well-catered relaxation. So whether you are an Africa afficionado or an ecotourist looking for nesting loggerhead turtles and unusual birds, a digital nomad enticed by long-stay visas or a member of the USA’s sizeable Cape Verdean diaspora, Bradt’s Cape Verde provides the perfect guide to getting the most out of these unexpectedly rewarding islands.
