Sal Island, Cabo Verde

Buracona, often called the Blue Eye, is one of Sal Island’s most famous natural attractions in Cabo Verde.

Located along the island’s rugged northwest coast, it consists of a natural rock pool and a submerged cave where sunlight creates a brilliant blue reflection that resembles a glowing eye, especially around midday. Formed by volcanic activity and the constant action of the Atlantic Ocean, the site is surrounded by dramatic lava rock formations and stunning coastal scenery.

A popular destination for sightseeing, photography, and swimming in nearby natural pools, Buracona showcases the unique geological beauty of Sal Island and is one of Cabo Verde’s most visited landmarks.
