La ‘Isla de las Dunas’ enamora con sus playas kilométricas de arena blanca donde anidan las tortugas, su pequeño desierto, su capital colonial Sal Rei y la autenticidad de su vida rural en los pueblos del interior.
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.
The former capital of Boa Vista, once the epicentre of Cape Verde’s pottery industry, still retains a few lovely, traditional ceramics workshops.
This vast, untouched beach, rich in biodiversity, offers the unique experience of being able to swim surrounded by towering sand dunes.
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.
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.
