Its shady main square, the new market, low-key bars and laidback street life give Espargos some charme and make the city the best place to try some Creole Cooking or catch some genuine traditional music as well as understanding the cape verdean life style . Further to lunch we will also get to Monte Curral the highest point in town (109 meters) where you will have an amazing aerial view of the town, airport and coastal areas close by.

Contratamos todas las excursiones aquí. Tour privado con Tarzan, además de enseñarnos la isla nos hizo de fotógrafo. La noche mágica de las tortugas, los buggys… que yo no iba muy convencida y salí con ganas de más! Profesionalidad y buena gente. Muy recomendable

Un acierto hacer la excursión con Carlos y el guía Tarzan. El recorrido es magnífico, te llevan a sitios recónditos a bañarte, y además Tarzan saca fotos espectaculares. Por cierto Palmeira es un pueblo chiquito pero con mucho encanto. Mil gracias

We contacted Carlos when we arrived in Sal having seen his tour on the Jane MacDonald travel show in the UK ????. He got back to us really quickly on WhatsApp and organised us a private tour for 4 on the day we asked for. Ricky was our guide and he was excellent- very knowledgeable and also very relaxed about what we visited and how long we wanted to spend in each place - definitely “no stress”! A good price too compared with the hotel organised tours. We went to shark bay, blue eye, mirage, salt baths and some bays for snorkelling. Definitely recommend contacting Carlos if you are going to Sal.
This tour in Santa Maria is organized by Carlos Cruz Tours
