Monte Estância is a mountain in the southeastern part of the island Boa Vista in Cape Verde. At 387 m elevation, it is the island's highest point. It is located 23 km southeast of the island capital Sal Rei. The Atlantic Ocean is about 4 kilometres to the southeast. The mountain is entirely of volcanic origin.[citation needed]
It is part of a protected natural space in Cape Verde under the statute of natural monument, a reason that describes geological and geomorphical features. It also protects notable endemic plants and flowers and endangered birds. The protected area covers 736 ha.[citation needed]
