The Poilão Dam was constructed to irrigate agricultural lands in the Santa Cruz municipality and has become a frequent destination for nature lovers. This wetland, contrasting with the dry climate of Cabo Verde, also hosts migratory birds.
The picnic area offers an ideal environment for local families' weekend getaways. Refer to the Harita section for the route.
