Founder of Cabo Verde Info & Tour Leader

Aleksandra Dias dos Santos

I first arrived in Cabo Verde in 2016 as a volunteer in Terra Boa and Santa Cruz, the most impoverished districts on Sal Island. Working daily with children from vulnerable families allowed me to experience this archipelago from the inside out-far away from resort walls.

As a graduate in International Tourism Management & HR from Middlesex University in London, an active tour leader, and the founder of Cabo Verde Info, I fell deeply in love with the culture, the resilience, and the rhythm of local life. That experience inspired me to become an independent guide, translating the complexities and beauty of Cape Verde for travelers from all over the world.

Today, alongside my husband Adilson, we create personalized, safe, and deeply immersive adventures that show you the true soul of these islands.

Local Expert & Equestrian Specialist

Adilson Dias dos Santos

Born on the lush island of Santo Antão, I grew up surrounded by sugarcane plantations and banana groves, living in complete synergy with nature. I’ve always embodied the true Cape Verdean spirit of “No Stress”.

A passionate footballer, futsal player, and beach soccer enthusiast, I am also a devoted equestrian and horse breeder. Having lived on Sal Island for many years, I know every hidden path, local custom, and secret spot. I am the local bridge to the community-knowing what, where, how, and when.

Together with Ola, we ensure that every journey you take with us is authentic, grounded in local reality, and unforgettable.
