Get ready for an unforgettable Buggy Tour across the north of Boa Vista, discovering the shipwreck and the Viana Desert. Your journey begins with a convenient hotel pickup, followed by a safety briefing at our base. Once you gear up, you’ll hit the trails and explore the island’s most iconic spots.
Your first adventure takes you along the “Via Pitoresca,” a scenic off-road path winding through a lush oasis. This verdant contrast to Boa Vista’s arid beauty sets the tone for the day. From there, you’ll ascend to Ponta do Sol Panorama Point, where sweeping vistas of Boa Vista’s north unfold. On clear days, you might even see the southern coast of Sal Island, making this a perfect spot for pictures.
Next, journey to Cabo Santa Maria, a beautiful stretch of coastline. Here lies the wreckage of the Spanish cargo ship that ran aground in 1968.
Finally, the last stop is one of the 7 wonders of Cape Verde: The Viana Desert, a dreamscape of undulating sand dunes shaped by Saharan winds.
After a thrilling exploration, your tour visiting the Shipwreck of Boa Vista and the Viana Desert by Buggy concludes back at the starting point, where you’ll be comfortably transported back to your hotel.
The route for this tour was designed to minimize the environmental impact and is approved by the local Ministry of the Environment.
