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.
This night out makes for a great alternative to dinner at your hotel. You’ll be driven to Hotel Morabeza, a luxurious beachfront retreat near the town of Santa Maria. Dinner is served al fresco, and it’s a two-course affair of Cape Verdian dishes – choose from the likes of meat, fresh fish and lobster. You’ll enjoy your meal with the sand beneath your toes. And the night-time soundtrack comes courtesy of the Atlantic Ocean waves.
Discover the highlights of Sal. Lunar landscapes, the legendary Buracona Lagoon, the Mirage of Terra Boa and dramatic coastlines. Not forgetting the perfect end to the most popular half day tour, Salinas de Pedra de Lume where you can relax and float in the salt lakes just as you can in the Dead Sea.
