Traveling in Cape Verde


Traveling to Cape Verde offers a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and cultural discovery. This archipelago of ten islands in the Atlantic Ocean is renowned for its pristine white sand beaches, year-round sunshine, and welcoming atmosphere. Visitors can bask on the tranquil beaches of Sal and Boa Vista, or explore the rugged volcanic terrain and lush valleys of Santo Antão. Cape Verde’s unique cultural identity is shaped by African and European influences, which can be seen in its music, cuisine, and architecture. Whether you’re kitesurfing on windy shores, hiking dramatic landscapes, or enjoying fresh seafood in a beachside village, Cape Verde promises a diverse and unforgettable experience.

Common Medications

Travelers to Cape Verde should prepare for potential health risks by packing essential medications. Antimalarial medications are generally not required for most islands, but it’s always a good idea to bring antibiotics like Azithromycin for traveler’s diarrhea, as well as antihistamines and over-the-counter pain relief for minor ailments. For those planning to spend time in the sun or on the water, sunscreen and remedies for sunburn, such as aloe vera gel, are also essential. Runway Health makes it easy to access travel medications with online consultations and fast, free shipping, so you’re ready for any unexpected health concerns during your trip.

Immunizations & Vaccinations

Before traveling to Cape Verde, ensure your routine vaccinations are up to date, including measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTaP), and influenza. Hepatitis A and B vaccinations are also recommended, especially if you plan to sample local food or stay for an extended period. While Cape Verde has a low risk of mosquito-borne diseases like malaria, travelers should still take precautions to avoid insect bites. Use insect repellent, wear long-sleeved clothing in the evenings, and sleep under mosquito nets if staying in rural areas. Consult your healthcare provider for specific recommendations based on your travel plans.

Runway Health takes the stress out of preparing for your Cape Verde adventure by providing access to FDA-approved travel medications and expert health advice. With free shipping and clear pricing, we ensure you’re ready for a safe and enjoyable trip, leaving you free to focus on the beauty and culture of this stunning island destination.
