Day 1: Welcome to your New Home
Location: Tarrafal
Get ready to be greeted with a warm Cape Verdean welcome by our transfer coordinator! Picture this: You step off the plane and make your way to the meeting point, where our coordinator will be eagerly awaiting your arrival. From there, they'll whisk you away to your accommodation while filling you in on all the exciting adventures in store for the next few days. It's the perfect start to your Cape Verde adventure!
Day 2-6: Turtle Conservation
Location: Tarrafal
Through this program you and members of the local community will be working to ensure protection of the female sea turtles by: patrolling the beaches at night during the nesting season; transporting the eggs to a safe hatchery; feeding, cleaning and taking care of hatchlings; educating the community about lessening their impact; and working with the government to improve protection regulations.
Day 7: Choose Your Own Adventure!
Location: Tarrafal
The weekend is time for you to spread your wings a little, if you’re up for it. We’ve equipped you with some language basics, introduced you to the local cuisine…now lets see where that can get you! You’re free to organise any adventure you care to, or simply chill ahead of the volunteer work. We can offer advice on where to go, if you need it.
