📍 Cabo Verde is an island country located in the Atlantic Ocean, off the northwest coast of Africa. It lies west of Senegal and is part of the Macaronesia region, a group of Atlantic island archipelagos.

As an island nation, Cabo Verde has no land borders and is entirely surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. The country consists of a group of volcanic islands divided into two main clusters: the Barlavento (windward) and Sotavento (leeward) islands. Its terrain is generally rugged and mountainous, with some islands featuring active or dormant volcanoes, while others are more arid and flat.

Cabo Verde’s location has historically made it an important stop for maritime trade routes between Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Its climate is typically dry, influenced by its position off the Sahara, and its geography has shaped both its culture and economic activities, including fishing, tourism, and trade.
