Maio is the easternmost of the Sotavento islands of Cape Verde. The small island is famous for its squeaky clean beaches and a relaxed, almost dazed way of life. Maio is dotted with small picturesque fishing villages, like Calheta to the north. These are definitely worth a visit. However, the main purpose of a visit here, should be to relax and unwind on one of the many beautiful unspolit beaches.

Carache is a small island in the Bissagos Archipelago in Guinea-Bissau off the coast of West Africa. Its area is just 80km² and there are around 500-600 people living in the two largest villages - Binte and Ampintcha. The locals grow cashews and palm tress, raise pigs, hens and cows and generally, survive on agriculture. Thankfully, the whole archipelago is protected from any natural outside influences, meaning that the earth is quite fertile and the landscape is beautifully preserved.
