Imprescindible. El guía Chan explica muy bien la vida y costumbres de su ciudad, no puedes irte de Sal sin esta visita, la única que te permite ver un poco cómo viven en realidad, al estar alejada de la zona turística. Incluye una degustación de bebidas y comida típica, totalmente recomendable

It's a small island. However, a day trip with a 100m running champion in the all Portuguese speaking world helped learned a lot about the country, the islands and the people. Lucky me! Floating on the salt mine pond and watching the baby sharks were quite exciting experiences. 'Blue Eye' the volcano water hole on the coast was not in the right season to jump in. Over all it was worth the trip to know the island more and worth every penny!
