The desert & mirages in Sal, Terra Boa is well worth a visit. This location is about 4km north of main Capital Espargos in Cape de Verde islands and Sal. Get here by guided tourist tours, car, moped or motorcycle. Be ware if driving through the slum areas to the north of Espargos, people have been robbed here. Many people in Cape de Verde islands are very poor and live in poverty.

The north of Sal & Terra Boa is a true African desert. There is sand as long as you can see and flat land exept for the brown mountains to the east and west of Terra Boa, Sal. The scenery is just breathtaking and you can feel the nature and the African breeze so close. The surroundings is basically desert and nothing else. This is a true experience of Cape de Verde islands and Sal. The real Africa. Coming here without a guided tour may as well leave you standing as the only person in sight in any direction, specially if you have the courige to go even further up north.

The landscape is just sand and sand, and it can be difficult exploring Terra Boa by motorcycle or moped due to the sand, but it can be done with some precation and a little patience, speaking from experience. If you are unsure, rent a quad instead.
