- Buracona - Olho Azul - Buracona, also known as the ‘Blue Eye,’ is a natural gem on the island of Sal in Cape Verde. This stunning site is located in a remote area in the northwest of the island, nestled among volcanic rocks overlooking the ocean. It offers a unique natural pool where colors blend into a visual spectacle that enchants visitors. The Blue Eye is an underwater cavity that, when illuminated by the sun’s rays, reveals magical shades of blue and turquoise, making the water crystal clear and creating an extraordinary visual effect reminiscent of an eye’s iris. The surrounding panoramic scenery is equally captivating. The black volcanic rocks, sculpted by trade winds and sea waves, frame a chasm approximately 2 meters by 3 meters in diameter, creating a striking contrast between the black rock and the deep blue waters.
- Miragem - A mirage or mirroring is an optical phenomenon commonly seen on sunny days, especially on highways, in desert landscapes, or on the high seas. It is an image caused by the deviation of light reflected from an object, a real physical phenomenon (optical illusion) not to be confused with a hallucination. Mirages can occur under various conditions, producing different types of images of the object. Sunlight traveling towards asphalt undergoes refraction due to the temperature gradient of the air layers as it approaches the asphalt.
- Shark Bay - Located on Cape Verde’s captivating Sal Island, Shark Bay, also known as Fejoal Bay, is one of the archipelago’s natural wonders. This location is renowned for its exceptional interaction with lemon sharks, impressive creatures that glide gracefully through the bay’s shallow waters. The experience begins upon arrival at the bay, where visitors don suitable footwear for beach walking and, after a few minutes of wading in the shallow waters, can admire the famous lemon sharks on the horizon. These fascinating predators, measuring between 2 and 3 meters long and weighing around 100 kg, swim calmly close to the shore, offering an unforgettable spectacle to those fortunate enough to see them.
- Pedra Lume Salt Crater - The Pedra Lume salt flats offer a delightful surprise. Its muddy waters, due to the mixture of salt and earth, allow visitors to float effortlessly, similar to the Dead Sea, as there is 26 times more salt than in the ‘normal’ sea. This unique and relaxing sensation attracts many tourists to the Salinas de Pedra Lume.
