Curral Velho

It was the first settlement on the island. Now in ruins, it sits in front of a large salt flat and the majestic Curral Velho beach, known for its prehistoric sands and wild waters, watched over by the Bird Islet, where thousands of endemic birds nest. From July to October, it also becomes a nesting site for sea turtles.

Fundo das Figueiras

One of the three villages that make up the legendary Northern Villages of Boa Vista, Fundo das Figueiras is the central one. It is the birthplace of Aristides Pereira, the first President of the Republic of Cape Verde, after whom the island's airport is named. The village is well known for its traditional Cape Verdean cuisine, charming colorful houses adorned with vibrant flowers, and its iconic church, São João Baptista, which stands as its guardian.

Duration 120 minutes

Joao Galego

It is the most populated of the three Northern villages and home to most of the island’s vegetable gardens, earning it the nickname “The Pantry of Boa Vista.” With around 400 inhabitants, João Galego is known for its charming main street (“rua direita”) and serves as our gateway out of the Northern villages. From here, we connect to the so-called “Route 66” — a road that cuts through the island, offering breathtaking views. It’s along this route that we return to our starting point, bringing our excursion to a perfect close.
