Search flights from BVC to SID
Deserto de Viana
Stunning views of the white sand dunes that characterize the interior of Boa Vista right after takeoff.
Praia de Chaves
Excellent aerial perspective of the long, sweeping beaches and dunes on the northwest coast of Boa Vista.
Pedra de Lume
On the approach to Sal, you may see the ancient salt evaporation ponds located inside an extinct volcano crater.
Monte Grande
View of the highest peak on Sal island as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at Amílcar Cabral International.
The right side is highly recommended for its views of the 'Sahara-like' landscapes of Boa Vista. For the best photography of the Pedra de Lume salt pans, choose a seat slightly behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed downward view during the descent into SID.

Ilhéu de Sal Rei
A small uninhabited islet visible just off the coast of Boa Vista shortly after departure.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean as the plane crosses the channel between the islands.
Santa Maria Coastline
As you approach Sal, you can see the turquoise waters and resorts along the southern tip of the island.
Sit on the left if you are traveling during the late afternoon to catch the reflection of the sun on the water. It is a very short flight (approx. 15-20 minutes), so keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff.
