At Sodadetour, our connection to Cape Verde goes far beyond tourism. We are deeply socially, culturally, and environmentally committed to the communities and natural landscapes that make each island unique. Our business strategies are designed to create meaningful travel experiences while actively preserving the environment, supporting local livelihoods, and respecting cultural heritage.

We actively support and engage with local communities by:
Prioritizing local guides, drivers, artisans, and suppliers
Promoting authentic cultural experiences that respect traditions and customs
Ensuring fair and ethical working conditions for all collaborators
Encouraging cultural exchange that is respectful, inclusive, and non-exploitative
Our goal is to ensure that tourism contributes directly to local economic development and community well-being.
