3. Hiking and Trekking

Given the desert-like appearance of Cape Verde, it serves as a beautiful spot to hike or trek. There are several hiking trails in Cape Verde that make the experience worthwhile.

Watch as your team bonds over the breathtaking scenery, exhilarating buggy ride, and a variety of playful group activities such as agility challenges that will nurture fun, strong, and positive interpersonal relationships.
