This private transfer service operates on Sal Island, one of the most visited islands in the Cape Verde archipelago, located in the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Africa. Amilcar Cabral International Airport (IATA: SID) is the primary entry point to Sal Island and sits within a short distance of Espargos, the island's main administrative town. Espargos is centrally located on Sal Island and serves as a residential and commercial hub, distinct from the beach resort of Santa Maria further south. The transfer route runs across the flat, arid interior of the island and typically takes around 15 minutes by road.
