Atlas Brasil Cantanhede Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended…

Boa Vista's Atlas Brasil Cantanhede International Airport is just 3.5 km from the centre of Boa Vista, Brazil's northernmost city and the gateway to Mount Roraima: here the trip to any part of the local hospitality scene is measured in minutes, not dedicated connections. Centro Cívico, around Praça das Águas and the Rio Branco river, remains the most practical base for getting around the city's main sights on foot. The Caçari district and the commercial area around Pátio Roraima offer more outlying alternatives, useful for those wanting an international chain hotel or staying several days.

Centro Cívico
