We will pick you up from your hotel by minibus at 9:00 AM. We will begin the tour traveling south on Sal Island, where we will see the Santa Maria pier and the salt flats. We will continue our tour through the Terra Boa desert, whose landscapes will surprise us with a curious mirage.
Our next stop will be in the island's administrative capital, Espargos, where you will have an hour of free time to enjoy lunch on your own. With our energies recharged, we will climb to a famous viewpoint to admire the views of the island. The tour continues towards the shores of Parda Bay, famous for being the natural habitat of lemon sharks.
Nearby are the Pedra de Luma salt flats. In the vicinity, there are a series of lagoons where, like in the Dead Sea, you can float in the waters. A perfect opportunity to tone your skin naturally!

5.00We booked this excursion via Romeo, who responded to our requests. We were 12 people so we wanted to move at our own pace. Romeo is very attentive. We had as guide Acineto (I have a doubt about the spelling dsl) it is great, it explains perfectly the history of the island, it has a philosophy of life that is great. The tour of the island is really to be done. We spent the day with a photographer who was kind, discreet... We left obviously with his photos 🤩 You can go with your eyes closed 🙏
