Cape Verde is a superb hiking destination, especially on Santiago, Santo Antão, Fogo, Brava, and São Nicolau. A Peace Corps volunteer put together a readily available manual on stunning hikes in the Santa Catarina region of Santiago. This is a handy guide for weekend forays into the scenic outskirts of Praia; hikes range from short and flat to steep and hilly and everything in between.

The hot, humid summers are difficult in the cities, but the sandy beaches along the coast and the many fine mountain resorts provide pleasant relief. The rather mild and dry winters are not as severe as the U.S. East Coast; it rarely snows or rains in the Tokyo area at this time of year.
