In Terra Boa it is also possible to see the “Mirage” (or “Fata Morgana”): the Mirage is an optical phenomenon in which the hot light rays on the ground reflect distant objects and the sky, which create the illusion of a desert lake. Terra Boa is well worth a visit when going to Cape Verde islands. Located about 4km north of town Espargos in Cape Verde islands, Sal. Get here by guided tourist tours, rented car, moped or motorcycle. The north of Sal & Terra Boa is the true African desert. There is sand and sand as long as you can see and flat landscape except for the brown mountains to the east and west of Terra Boa. The scenery is just breathtaking and you can feel the nature and the African breeze so close. The surroundings is basically flat desert and nothing else. This is a true experience of Cape Verde islands and Sal. The real Africa. Coming here without a guided tour may as well leave you standing all alone. No people or tourist in sight in any direction, specially if you have the courage to go even further up north. The landscape is just sand and sand and flat desert. It can be difficult exploring Terra Boa by motorcycle or moped due to the sand, but it can be done with some precaution and a little patience. If you are unsure, rent a quad instead.
