They say that a trip is enjoyed three times: before, during and afterwards. If you are a seasoned traveler, you’ll probably agree with this statement. The “before” phase is when you first connect with the destination (even if it is only online) – gathering information, booking accommodation and flights, checking recommendations, etc. Tips for travelers are always welcome, no matter how experienced you are.<\/p>

On this occasion, we give you 6 tips for travelers that will come in handy<\/a> if you are planning to visit Cape Verde, although they can easily apply to any other destination.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1. Be well-informed about the weather to avoid bringing unnecessary clothing.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You’ve probably caught yourself packing your luggage<\/a> with “just in case” items on more than one occasion. It’s good to be proactive, but if you’re traveling during the dry season, why pack a raincoat? Temperatures in Cape Verde range from 24 to 30\u00baC during the day, while at night they can drop to 18\u00baC. The rainy season runs from August to October in the archipelago, so keep this in mind. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

2. Check that your passport is valid.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Even if you have booked every single outing and have everything organized down to the last detail, if your passport has expired it’s pointless. What’s more, although it may be a few months away from expiring, remember that there are countries that only allow access<\/a> with a passport that is at least six months valid. To be sure, find out if you need visas and try to anticipate processing times. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

3. Exchange money at the destination<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Although you may be tempted to exchange cash at the airport of departure, it is much better to do so at the airport of destination, as the exchange rate will be much more favorable. In the case of Cape Verde, fortunately most hotels and restaurants on the islands of Sal and Boavista accept card payment. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There are destinations where tourist information is not abundant and, therefore, it can be more complex when it comes to searching for or booking transfers, accommodation, excursions, etc.. In this case, it is advisable to put yourself in the hands of a specialized travel agency that is responsible for making a trip tailored to the visitor, exactly as if you planned it yourself – but without the hassle. If you are going to travel to Cape Verde, contact us and we will tell you how we can help you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

5. Get interested in local culture and customs.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Getting to know a country<\/a> does not only mean visiting its cities, villages or its most signature places. Interacting with the people, tasting the local cuisine, eating in less touristic establishments, sleeping in local accommodation… All these small gestures contribute to making the trip more enriching and complete. You will soak up your new destination, broaden your perspectives and, above all, you will help the local economy. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Travel is a array of images, moments and experiences. In addition to collecting images of idyllic landscapes, either in your memory or on your camera, try to make each trip different. This is only possible by having one-of-a-kind experiences. <\/p>

In Cape Verde, for example, you can take advantage of its variety of ecosystems to experience unique moments. In the archipelago you can swim in turquoise waters, accompany local fishermen, watch turtles, trek among volcanoes or go horseback riding. <\/p>

Thinking of visiting Cape Verde soon? These tips for travelers will help you make the most of your stay in the archipelago. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
