Good View) is the capital of the Brazilian state of Roraima. Situated on the western bank of the River Branco, 220 km (136 mi) from Brazil's border with Venezuela. It is the only Brazilian capital located entirely above the Equator. Equatorial climate predominates in Boa Vista. The temperature in the city is hot throughout the year, with a very low temperature range usually of less than 3 degrees celsius. It is also a very wet climate with annual precipitation often more than 2000 mm. These hot and wet conditions are ideal for the growth of plants so the vegetation is both dense and varied. The Equatorial Rainforests also have an extremely diverse fauna. Boa Vista is also the most populous municipality in Roraima. Approximately half of the population of the state lives in the city. Business is done mostly with Manaus, capital of the State of Amazonas, and with the cities of Lethem, in Guyana and Santa Elena de Uairen, in Venezuela. These cities are the only major cities that can be accessed from Boa Vista via road, although other smaller state municipalities are also connected by road with the capital city. The airplane is the only way of transportation for other regions in the country. The federal government has started a project to link Manaus and Boa Vista via roads to the major centers of Brazil, by asphalting the BR 319 and building several bridges in the Amazon forest, allowing a direct road link between Manaus and the central and southern regions of Brazil.
