Life in Espingueira gradually came to a standstill half a century ago, when farmers, goat herders and fishermen deserted the area.

Yet, this northern coast of Boa Vista Island has the feel of a little paradise with its wind-sculpted golden sand dunes, crystal-clear waters, and year-round mild climate. Today, it delights guests of the Spinguera Ecolodge, a boutique hotel at the end of the world run by Larissa and her team.

Here, travelers sleep in small stone houses with colorful shutters, enjoy fresh fish under the pergola… and let time slip away. No Wi-Fi, no TV, not even a mobile phone network: the disconnection is total.

Contemplating the tumultuous ocean and the magnificent landscapes of the Parque Natural do Norte, observing birds and nesting sea turtles during the day and the stars in the evening, will be enough to satisfy you…

And for the more adventurous, there are guided off-road tours in 4x4 vehicles or sea trips for sport fishing.
