Pedra de Lume Salt Crater

Pedra de Lume, north-east coast of Sal

Float weightlessly in a pink volcanic crater once mined for its precious salt.

Descend into an ancient volcanic crater filled with dense pink salt water. The high salinity makes you float effortlessly — a surreal, spa-like experience surrounded by red-earth cliffs. Once one of Cape Verde's most important salt mines, the site still has original 19th-century wooden infrastructure.
