Maio: beaches, dunes and dry island landscapes

Maio is a Cape Verdean island in the Atlantic and belongs to the Ilhas de Sotavento island group. The character of the island includes dry plains and sand dunes as well as mountain ranges and stands of coconut palms and acacia trees.

On trips into the interior of the island and hikes through the mountain ranges, the landscape can be explored in different ways. At some of Maio’s beaches, sea turtles and the protection of their habitats are also highlighted.
