Hidden Gems of Boa Vista
Boa Vista’s landscape is defined by its industrial ruins, natural anomalies, and maritime history. This collection features the Santa Maria shipwreck, a 1968 Spanish cargo vessel grounded on the northern coast, and the Saharan sand dunes of Deserto de Viana. Historical sites include the 19th-century Duque de Bragança fort ruins and the abandoned Fábrica da Chave brick factory. Natural points of interest like the Odjo d’Mar freshwater spring and the Rocha de Retondo rock formation offer a look at the island's geological diversity away from the main tourist hubs.
