Boa Vista, Administrative territory in Barlavento Islands, Cape Verde
Located 455 kilometers from the African mainland, Boa Vista spans 620 square kilometers of land with desert areas and Monte Estância reaching 387 meters.
The territory was discovered in 1460 by António de Noli and Diogo Gomes, leading to the first settlement establishment in 1620 for salt production.
The municipality consists of two parishes, Santa Isabel and São João Baptista, each contributing to the local governance and community identity.
The administrative center Sal Rei connects to other locations through 64 kilometers of national roads and operates the Aristides Pereira International Airport.
The territory includes 14 protected areas where sea turtles nest and various bird species inhabit, despite having only 3 percent forest coverage.
