The Pedra de Lume crater is around 900 m in radius and is an extinct volcano. The area features salt evaporation ponds it was built over a natural salt lake that formed through infiltration of water from the sea, since the base of the crater is below the sea level, thus forming the lowest point in Cape Verde. The salt extraction is currently inactive since the 1990s.
The water is 26 times saltier than the sea.
The entrance fee is 5 euros /person.
