The archipelago of fifteen islands in the Atlantic Ocean of Africa, where the average temperature is between 23-26ºC. For your trip to Cape Verde will need a very specific plan based on the islands you want to visit. This archipelago is composed of ten big islands and five small ones, so we recommend you spend one week in the country to visit 1 or 2 big islands.

Also, you will need to take in consideration all the main places you cannot miss during your trip to Cape Verde. The 10 biggest islands of this archipelago are divided in 2 big categories: Barlovento Islands (in the north part of the island) and Sotavento Islands (in the south part of the island). 

The Barlovento Islands (north) of Azores are:

The Portuguese archipelago of the nine Azores volcanic Islands is located in the Atlantic Ocean. The names of the nine Azores Islands are Terceira, São Miguel, Pico, Flores, São Jorge, Faial, Graciosa, Corvo, and the Island of Santa Maria.

Traveling to the Azores Islands during winter time will allow you to visit them with peace of mind and without the crowds that you could find in the summer season. If you only have a week to enjoy this magnificent trip, we recommend you visit at least the two main islands: Terceira and São Miguel. Although if you have the opportunity to stay more than a week, it would be nice if you could visit at least five of the islands. 

These spectacular wild islands have subtropical vegetation and mountain rocks over 2,000 meters high. If you are a nature lover, you will enjoy quite a lot of the adventure activities that these islands can offer: hiking, diving, snorkeling, climbing, and canyoning.

It is the largest and most important island in the entire archipelago. But if you prefer to spend the most part of your time in nature, you can also locate your accommodation on Terceira Island. Its historic centre of Angra do Heroísmo will make you fall in love. With a population of only 35 thousand inhabitants, it is one of the most beautiful places of the Azores, as well as being the capital of Terceira.
