Viana Desert
About Viana Desert
Viana Desert stands out for the landscape more than anything else. The sand dunes feel unexpected on an island better known for its beaches, and the setting has a quieter, more open feel than Boa Vista’s coastal stops. It works well if you want to see a different side of the island without needing to go too far from the main town or airport.
When to visit
November to June is the strongest window for dry, sunny desert conditions, while August to October is warmer and slightly rainier.
Most popular: December - February
