It is not that this pandemic is over, but travel to Cape Verde is once again a reality. After many difficult months for all of us, we are starting the new season with a great desire to revisit the Creole archipelago. <\/p>

So let’s solve the most frequent doubts to travel to Cape Verde in these times.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Here are the most important points to take into account on an international trip to Cape Verde. Keep in mind that we will access from Europe through Portugal, and therefore, we will go through different regulations. However, Cape Verde has chosen to follow standards very similar to the European ones. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The archipelago is working to provide maximum openness and ease for international tourism, while maintaining health control to ensure safety on the islands. It is expected that by the end of September 2021, 60% of the population will be fully vaccinated. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

An antigen test or PCR is required, regardless of whether or not the full vaccination schedule is available (Consult the regulations before traveling as they may change).<\/p>

Inter-island flights \/ Ferries:<\/strong> No testing is required with the full vaccination schedule.<\/p>

Rapid tests are required if the complete vaccination schedule is not available.<\/p>

Tour of Spain:<\/strong> Whatever the government stipulates; right now a PCR.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

*It is considered a complete schedule 14 days after the administration of the second dose or 28 days in case of single-dose vaccines.<\/p>

** The test costs 10\u20ac in public clinics and 30\u20ac in private clinics.<\/p>

The PCRs have a cost of 60\u20ac.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Undoubtedly, it has been a very difficult few months in the archipelago, where many businesses dependent on tourism have been forced to close, some of them permanently. Even so, and partly thanks to the help of the Creole government, little by little sustainable tourism is being reestablished again. <\/p>

During the pandemic, one of the services that has been most affected has been internal flights, with changes of airlines and maximum complexity in ticket reservations. Currently, inter-island flights are being reestablished, but their reservation system is still somewhat chaotic. For this reason, we recommend itineraries<\/a> with minimal inter-island exchanges until the situation is somewhat more organized. <\/p>

Between one thing and another, returning to travel is somewhat more complex than before the pandemic and if one thing requires sure is more patience. Oi Cabo Verde and Vistaverde Tours will provide constant support from Spain and Cape Verde respectively, in the case of the islands with 24h of attention in case anything arises. However, we ask for patience, understanding and flexibility in case of small changes that may arise before or during the trip. <\/p>

Even so, if months ago we explicitly recommended not to travel, even if it is allowed, now we invite you again to discover the African archipelago, and we will be here to make it possible!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
