The islands are not similar to each other and differ greatly in their landscapes and nature. The dry highlands of the archipelago are somewhat reminiscent of lunar landscapes, and this is attractive. Cape Verde has many volcanoes on its territory, both active and extinct, rocky shores, beautiful harbors.
The country has a mild climate, and the coastline, dotted with grottoes and reefs, is filled with exotic inhabitants: lobsters, eels, langoustines, stingrays, barracudas, mollusks, and huge sea turtles. You can often see sharks and whale movements, as well as dolphins. The magnificent nature of the islands is represented by wonderful virgin beaches, even with black sand of volcanic origin (Fogo Island).
