🙋 FAQThings travelers often ask

Two days gives you a quick taste of one area, three days lets you settle in and add a day trip, and around five days is where a trip starts to feel relaxed and varied. If you like hiking and beaches in the same trip, aim for the longer end.
Cabo Verde is an island nation about 570 kilometers (350 miles) off the coast of West Africa, so it has no land neighbors. The nearest mainland countries are Senegal and Mauritania, and Senegal is the most practical to pair with it, since Dakar lies closest to the islands.

🗺️ RegionsPlanning a route across Cabo Verde's regions

Cabo Verde is a scatter of places with real distance between them, so a plan that tries to touch everything quickly eats your days. Salinas de Pedra de Lume sits far from Pico do Fogo, and Santo Antão is another journey again. The planner gathers nearby stops together and moves you through them in one direction, so you spend your time at each place, not between them. For most backpackers, fewer areas with more time in each gives the best value for money and energy.

⚙️ How it worksHow the Cabo Verde itinerary planner works

Pick your trip length, your interests and your pace, and the planner builds a day-by-day route that keeps the walking, waiting and wasted days to a minimum. First, it groups places that sit close together, so you never zigzag across the country and burn a day on a long haul for one small stop. Next, it picks one sensible direction through those groups, so you move steadily forward instead of doubling back. Last, it sets the time at each stop by its type and by how much sits nearby. Take Praia: a city with several attractions around it works best as a base where you unpack once, sleep in the same bed for a few nights, and treat the smaller spots close by as easy day trips. For a backpacker that is the best deal, because fewer moves means more money in your pocket, more daylight for exploring and a lot less repacking.
