The inside story
Set in the north-west of Boa Vista, the Viana Desert is one of Cape Verde’s most extraordinary natural wonders. Shaped by sand carried across the Atlantic by winds from the Sahara, this small desert creates a dramatic contrast with the island’s volcanic landscapes and nearby coastline. With its rolling dunes and peaceful surroundings, it’s a place that feels far removed from everyday life while still being close to Boa Vista’s main towns and resorts.
The desert provides the backdrop for some of Boa Vista’s most memorable outdoor adventures, whether you’re exploring the dunes by 4x4, riding a quad bike, or discovering the island on a guided tour. Walk across the soft sands, take in panoramic views from the top of the dunes, or choose a more active way to explore this otherworldly landscape. However you decide to visit, the Viana Desert offers a chance to experience the island’s wild and unspoilt beauty.
