Missão de Boroma

Mozambique


About 25km northwest of Tete, overlooking the river, is the Missão de Boroma. Founded in 1885 by Jesuit missionaries, it was known for its colégio (school), its carpentry-training centre and its attractive church. It was abandoned for many years, but activities have recommenced on a small scale. You'll need a 4WD to get here.
