Off The Beaten Path 4WD Adventure

OVERVIEW

Set off on an off-road adventure into remote areas of Santiago that most visitors to the island never see. You will travel in a caravan of four-wheel-drive vehicles into areas that may be inaccessible by any other mode of transportation, a reason this excursion is so compelling. The scenic highlights include the isolated beach at Sao Francisco, the stark but hauntingly beautiful landscape around Moia Moia, the Porto Lobo headland and an unnamed stretch of sand that rims a volcanically formed bay. When you do stop in villages, they will be small and have a population of only a few hundred people. These opportunities will present genuine glimpses into daily life in rural Cape Verde. Along the way, the guide will offer commentary that will add even more layers of understanding to the experience. The travel between villages will be exhilarating, as the majority of it will be off-road.
