What to see in Boa Vista en 3 days
With five days, you can combine relaxation, exploration, and unforgettable moments among deserts, beaches, and traditions. This tour will allow you to connect with the essence of the island and its natural surroundings.
Sal Rei
Coveted for centuries for its salt production, this small town built the Forte Duque de Bragança in the 19th century to defend itself from corsairs.
Dinner with sea views
Cape Verde’s wildest island awaits you with delicious local dishes such as cachupa, grilled tuna, grilled lobster and fried moray eel.
Trip to Viana Desert
The trade winds, which have been blowing for centuries, have shaped the sand from the Sahara into a unique landscape in the archipelago that looks like something from another planet.
Rabil
The former capital of Boa Vista, once the epicentre of Cape Verde’s pottery industry, still retains a few lovely, traditional ceramics workshops.
Praia Chaves
This vast, untouched beach, rich in biodiversity, offers the unique experience of being able to swim surrounded by towering sand dunes.
Relax in Occidental Boa Vista
This four-star resort offers a holistic wellness experience, with facilities that include a sauna and Turkish bath, five massage cabins, two swimming pools, several restaurants, and direct access to the beach.
The Varandinha Caves
Over thousands of years, the Atlantic and the trade winds have been moulding these caves in the remote southwest of Boa Vista island into magical formations that can only be visited at low tide.
Snorkel trip
In contrast to its desert and volcanic surface, Cape Verde’s third largest island hides a fascinating underwater world of shipwrecks, colourful reefs and wildlife including loggerhead turtles, nurse sharks, bottlenose dolphins and a variety of tropical fish.
The Boa Vista Turtle Reserve
The organisations dedicated to the conservation of this species at risk of extinction organise guided excursions by night to observe the loggerhead turtle nesting.
Shopping afternoon
Whether it’s batik fabrics, shell jewellery, handcrafted pottery, or gourmet treats like Cape Verdean goat’s cheese, Santo Antão honey or grogue, you can’t leave without taking a piece of the heart and soul of this Cape Verde island away with you.
