Boavista: Santa Monica, Dunes, Caves And Village 4x4 Tour
Discover the south coast of Boavista on this guided 4x4 tour. Explore the Viana desert, a traditional village, the Varandinha beach caves, and stop at Origens Santa Monica beach bar.
Discover the Viana Desert – Boa Vista’s own mini Sahara. Shaped by the trade winds, its rolling white dunes are perfect for breathtaking photos, sandboarding adventures, and unforgettable views across the island’s volcanic landscape. This is our first stop.
Second stop: Povoacao Velha. Step back in time in Povoação Velha, the oldest village of Boa Vista. Surrounded by mountains, this peaceful place is home to local fishermen and goat herders, colorful houses, and cobbled streets. Here you’ll discover Cape Verde’s traditions, simple island life, and warm hospitality.
Varandinha is a wild and untouched beach on Boa Vista’s southwest coast, famous for its dramatic cliffs, hidden caves, and powerful waves. A paradise for nature lovers and adventurers, it’s the perfect spot for photos, exploring caves, or simply enjoying the raw beauty of the Atlantic Ocean.
Santa Monica Beach is Boa Vista’s crown jewel – 11 km of pristine white sand and turquoise waters, often called the most beautiful beach in Cape Verde. Wild, endless, and unspoiled, it’s perfect for long walks, swimming, and relaxing in pure paradise.
