About This Activity

Explore the charming community of Rabil, where you’ll uncover the fascinating history of local artisans who transform clay into exquisite works of art and ceramics. These creations have become the backbone of the village’s livelihood, showcasing the incredible craftsmanship and cultural heritage of the region.

Just minutes away, lose yourself in the vast Viana Desert, a mesmerizing expanse formed by sands carried from the Sahara Desert. The shifting dunes create a breathtaking landscape, perfect for quiet reflection or stunning photography.

Embark on a journey to an isolated beach to witness the iconic shipwreck of MS Cabo Santa Maria, a cargo ship that has rested off the coast for over 50 years. Nestled near the enchanting Praia de Atlanta beach, this rusting relic has become a symbol of Boavista. The mysterious aura of the shipwreck, slowly dismantled by the sea over the decades, leaves an unforgettable impression.

This tour offers a perfect blend of history, natural beauty, and cultural discovery, making it a memorable and enriching experience.
