CapesCapes Tours History
Capescapes was founded in 2020 by Joao Paulo, a Cape Verdean adventure enthusiast with a deep passion for exploring Cape Verde's rich culture, lifestyle, and natural wonders.
Motivated by a desire to offer travelers an authentic experience of Cape Verde, he became disheartened by the stories of tourists who visited the islands and chose all-inclusive resort vacations, missing out on the opportunity to immerse themselves in the true essence of Cape Verdean life.
In 2022, Capescapes joined forces with Novatour, and in 2023, we founded Krioula Experience.
That's precisely why we do not provide all-inclusive packages. Instead, we specialize in tailor-made experiences. It's this commitment to authentic, personalized adventures that drove the creation of the Capescapes method.
We're proud to share that our commitment to transparency, ethical practices, and your peace of mind has earned us the prestigious Zero Burla "Zero Scam Certification".
This accreditation is not just a badge; it's a symbol of trust, assuring you that every adventure with us is not only extraordinary but also free from scams and unscrupulous practices.
We've set the bar high in the adventure travel industry, and we're dedicated to maintaining the highest standards, not only to meet but to exceed your expectations.
Your safety and satisfaction are paramount, and this certification is our solemn vow that you can embark on your Cape Verdean adventure with absolute confidence. Check the details bellow.

After numerous tests conducted, ADECO has decided to confer the "Zero Burla" certification to the company Capescapes.
Becoming a "No Scams" company means passing many tests that our team of experts conducts on various fronts.
In particular, Capescapes has proven itself worthy of this certification for:

These were not easy tests, but with meticulous attention, our team deemed the company suitable for certification.
