Car
If you have a car, start by heading towards the main road in Brava. Drive towards the ferry terminal at Furna, where you can take a ferry to the island of São Filipe, Santiago. From there, you will need to arrange transport to Santa Maria. Follow signs directing you towards Santa Maria, which is approximately a 15-minute drive from the ferry terminal. Once you arrive in Santa Maria, navigate to R. 1 de Junho, where Explore Cape Verde is located.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, first, make your way to the ferry terminal at Furna. Take a ferry to São Filipe on the island of Santiago. Once you arrive in São Filipe, you can catch a local bus or a shared taxi (known as 'aluguer') to Santa Maria. The bus ride will take about 30 minutes. After reaching Santa Maria, walk or take a short taxi ride to R. 1 de Junho, where Explore Cape Verde is situated.
Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route, you can take a taxi from your location in Brava to the ferry terminal at Furna. After taking the ferry to São Filipe, you can hire another taxi to Santa Maria. This is the most convenient, though more expensive option as you will need to pay for both the ferry and the taxi rides. Be prepared for a total cost of about 50-70 CVE for the ferry and around 100-150 CVE for the taxi.
