Description

Explore Salinas, a hidden gem on Fogo Island. Just 18 km from São Filipe, next to the village of São Jorge, discover one of Cape Verde’s most stunning natural spots. Marvel at the natural beauty of Salinas, where Monte Preto’s lava once flowed into the sea, creating a breathtaking landscape. Over thousands of years, the ocean and wind have sculpted the lava into natural pools, arches, bridges, tunnels, and small channels, forming a mesmerizing maze. Salinas is more than just a pretty place. It’s a gathering spot for locals, a source of inspiration, and a popular fishing destination. Every year on May 18th, it hosts a vibrant local festival. Whether you want to swim in the natural pools, capture stunning photos, or simply relax by the sea, Salinas offers an unforgettable experience.
