Planning routes in Cabo Verde
Cabo Verde travel is a combination of inter-island flights or ferries and road transfers within each island.
Identify the island for both places before comparing options; a route that looks short on an Africa map may still require a flight or ferry connection.
Booking check: Book the inter-island leg first, then leave enough margin for airport or port transfers and weather-related changes.
Use these guides for real journey planning
