Salt Lake Treatment

Información

This tour makes tracks for the geological superstars in the north-west corner of Sal. The village of Pedra de Lume is our starting point. It pinpoints salt mining country, a swathe of abandoned skeletal mines. Beyond them, there’s a yawning crater that’s the birthplace of the island. Salt pans and a deep lake fill the centre, and you’ll have the chance to take a dip in the water. It’s easiest to float like a starfish, though – the water’s so dense with salt that it’s like floating in the Black Sea. The day is finished off with a therapeutic body treatment that uses salt from the crater lake.
