Boa Vista is the third largest island of Cape Verde and at the same time the second most visited (after Sal Island). You will find long sandy beaches here (the sand is blown in from the Sahara, the island is of volcanic origin). The terrain of the island is relatively flat with several dominant, albeit relatively low, peaks. The highest mountain is Monte Estancia (387m). On the island you will find only a few larger hotel resorts and then smaller accommodation within the capital city of Sal Rei. It is only a little over 450 kilometers away from continental Africa. The interior is mostly barren with very little sparse vegetation. You will find a lot of wild donkeys here.
