Monte Caçador and Pico Forcado Protected Countryside (Portuguese: Paisagem protegido de Monte Caçador e Pico Forcado) is a protected area covering 3357ha of land[1] [2] [3] in the eastern part of the island of Boa Vista in Cape Verde. It is the most important mountain formation on the island, but not the highest.

The alignment of the peaks forms a tiny mountain range that consists Monte Caçador (355m (1,165feet), Pico Forcado (364m (1,194feet)) and the lower Mesa Cágado (297m (974feet)). The rock formation consists of phonolitic deposits over the basaltic Fundo de Figueiras Formation.[4]
