Sal Sightseeing by MiniBus

Información

Get a snapshot of what sun-baked Sal is all about on this half-day minibus tour. We'll start at Palmeira, a pretty west coast port. Its name means ‘palm tree' and its cobbled streets are lined with them, along with brightly painted shops, markets and mural-covered cafes. Then it's back on the bus for Buracona, a lagoon-filled cave lashed by Atlantic surf. When the sun reaches a certain point, its waters glow in a luminous ‘blue eye' effect that look supernatural. After that, it's on to Terra Boa, famous for its mirages. With luck you'll see its desert plains shimmer like water, creating what looks like an ocean in the sands. Next up is the capital, Espargos, in the heart of the island. Stop for drinks and some souvenir shopping before continuing to the Pedra de Lume salt lakes. Lining an extinct caldera, these glittering lakes will have you snapping photos non-stop. If you wish, you can take a dip - their waters are so full of salt that you'll float just like in the Dead Sea.
