The archipelago of Cape Verde is located in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Senegal, Gambia and Mauritania.
The archipelago is divided into two sets of islands south islands of Sotavento (Brava, Fogo, Santiago and Maio) to the north and the islands of Barlavento (Boa Vista, Sal, Sao Nicolau, Santa Luzia, Sao Vicente and Santo Antao). Sal is the most popular. Cape Verde has four international airports: Amilcar Cabral airport on Sal Island, since 1 November 2005, the International Airport of Praia on Santiago Island, from October 31, 2007, the airport International on the island of Boa Vista and São Vicente finally that since December 22, 2009. Praia, the administrative capital is located on the island of Santiago, the largest of the archipelago.
All the islands are of volcanic origin is on the island of Fogo (Island of the great volcano) that is the highest point 2829 m: Pico do Fogo, the last lava flow dates only from 1995. Most islands have steep terrain and are covered with volcanic ash little vegetation. The climate is hot and dry, with average temperatures between 20-25 ° C. During the months of January and February the islands is influenced by sandstorms from the Sahara. The Fogo volcano has a caldera in an arc of about 8 km in diameter. Current data indicate that it has suffered a collapse of almost 800 m 250 000 years ago. This caldera recovers rainwater during the rainy season. These waters are absorbed by the soil is very porous and flow in springs at the foot of the mountain, almost at sea level making it very difficult recovery. However boreholes have yielded enough to feed tanks.
Certainly, a dream of a donut is a dream, not a donut. But a dream trip is a trip already.
