Our impact
At Nos Caminho, we believe tourism should strengthen the places it touches—not exploit them. That’s why we’ve built a fair-wage, community-driven tourism model in Santo Antão, Cabo Verde that puts local people first.
Every tour you book directly supports local guides, families, and small businesses, helping create long-term economic stability on the island.

Our Fair-Wage Model
Unlike many tour operators, we do not pay a flat, low rate regardless of group size. We’ve intentionally built a different approach—one rooted in respect, transparency, and shared success.
Our commitments include:
Minimum €100 guaranteed per guide, per tour
Profit-sharing on all group hikes
Bonus compensation for larger groups
Clear, transparent, and ethical pay practices
A long-term commitment to responsible tourism in Santo Antão
Most agencies pay guides between €50–€80, often without regard for group size or workload. We believe local knowledge, experience, and leadership deserve better.
