Boavista has 55 kilometers of white Sandy beach along its coast providing a wild environment where Nature still surprising us with its beauty.

Firstly we visit the biggest desert of Cape Verde, known as Deserto de Viana by the locals. There’s a massive blanket of Sand Dunes that will catch your attention by its perfect harmony totally untouched and virgin. You can have fun jumping on the Dunes to feel free like a child.

Depending the season we can find endemics birds and we can not forget it’s a sea turtle spot from June till October well visited for spawning.
After Bracona’s enjoyment, we head-off, along the west coast, to Santa Monica beach for our last stop.
