The lands of Boimorto are well suited to hunting and river fishing, and the local cooking is based precisely on what these two activities bring in. Trout and rabbit are cooked superbly in several eating houses in the municipality. Delicious cheeses are also made here and sold under the general name of Arzúa-Ulloa.

There are a great many pazos (manor houses) within the boundaries of Boimorto, but almost all of them have lost their stately character and become large farmhouses.

Specialists and archaeologists also find plenty of places to study: hill forts (castros), burial mounds (mámoas) and standing stones, like those of Andavao, which most visitors never notice.

The cultural life of the municipality stands out for the folk group Santiaguiños de Boimorto and the Festival da Luz.
