No vaccination is required to travel to Cape Verde, provided that you travel from an airport in Europe. For those traveling from a country where yellow fever is present, vaccination is mandatory. <\/p>

Although the Covid-19 vaccination is also mandatory, no documentation is required at any airport.<\/p>

You can find more info on the website of the Ministry of Health.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What are the hospitals like in Cape Verde?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Although Cape Verde is still a developing country, we can affirm that it has a very acceptable network of public hospitals. It is complemented by a private health network that is also very good.<\/p>

From Oicaboverde we always recommend going to the network of private hospitals and clinics for two reasons. The first and most important is so that tourism does not overload the public healthcare facilities. The second reason is because private centers usually have agreements with most insurance providers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Always drink bottled water<\/a>. It seems silly but a simple glass of tap water can put a real damper on your trip. Also, make sure to drink regularly to hydrate yourself as much as possible.<\/p>

Also remember to ask if the ice cubes<\/a> or natural juices are made with mineral water. In most tourist places they do so, but if you have any doubts, don’t hesitate to ask.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Take a small first aid kit for scratches and small cuts. Although all our guides carry a first aid kit on the treks and activities, it is always a good idea to bring one.<\/p>

In conclusion, while adventure and exploration are part of the experience when traveling to the islands, maintaining your health in Cape Verde during your stay should be a priority. Preparing beforehand and taking precautions during your trip will ensure that you can enjoy this island destination to the fullest. With these recommendations in mind, get ready to discover all that Cape Verde has to offer with the utmost peace of mind!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
