Traveling to Cabo Verde? Land Connected.

Cabo Verde is ten islands scattered in the Atlantic, and island-hopping runs on flight and ferry timetables — so install your CGOO eSIM before you fly and you connect the moment you land, with bookings, maps and boarding passes in your pocket from the start.

Choose the Plan That Fits Your Trip

  • Fixed data or unlimited: pick from the plan grid above by trip length and data use — fixed-data plans for maps, messaging and light browsing, unlimited plans for heavy use and hotspotting.
  • Instant delivery: your QR code and installation link are emailed within minutes of checkout. Install before your flight; validity starts on the day you activate.
  • Good to know: your phone must support eSIM (dial *#06# and look for an EID), and your 15-digit IMEI is required at checkout so your eSIM can be provisioned.

Travel Highlights

  • Santa Maria, Sal: long white-sand beach, windsurfing and kitesurfing, and a lively promenade.
  • Boa Vista: vast dunes, empty beaches and loggerhead turtle nesting in season.
  • Santo Antão: the archipelago's best hiking, through green valleys and cliff-top villages.
  • Cidade Velha: the old capital on Santiago, with a fortress above a UNESCO-listed historic centre.
  • Fogo: a volcanic island where vineyards grow in the caldera beneath Pico do Fogo.

Getting Around

  • Between islands: domestic flights link the main islands, and ferries run between several of them — schedules vary, so book ahead in high season.
  • On Sal: the local CabVerde app books taxis with the fare in escudos shown before you book; elsewhere, use hotel-called or rank taxis and agree the fare first.
  • Aluguer minibuses: cheap shared transport on fixed routes, departing when full.
  • Rental cars: a good option on Sal, Santiago and Santo Antão, but check whether your rental covers inter-island ferry crossings.

Safety and Practical Tips

Cabo Verde is generally safe for visitors, but petty theft happens in busy tourist areas — keep bags closed, do not leave phones on beach towels, and use a hotel safe for passports and spare cash.

Atlantic currents can be strong: swim at lifeguarded beaches, respect red flags, and take sun and wind protection seriously — the breeze makes the sun feel milder than it is.

Entry and Visa

Entry rules depend on your passport: many visitors enter visa-free for short stays, and a pre-registration or airport security fee may apply — check the current requirements for your nationality before you book.

Weather and Climate

  • Warm and dry year-round: daytime temperatures are usually in the mid-20s Celsius, with cooler nights.
  • Rain: very little most of the year; what rain falls comes mainly between August and October.
  • Trade winds: stronger from November to March, which is peak season for windsurfing and kitesurfing.
  • What to pack: swimwear and sun protection, plus a light layer for breezy evenings.

Money and Payments

  • Currency: the Cabo Verdean escudo (CVE).
  • Cash: carry escudos for taxis, minibuses and small restaurants — card machines are not guaranteed outside resorts.
  • Cards: Visa and Mastercard are accepted at larger hotels, resorts and restaurants; Wise works wherever Visa or Mastercard is accepted.
  • ATMs: available on the main islands and at airports, but thinner on smaller islands — withdraw before a day trip.
