Buracona, located on the island of Sal in Cape Verde, is a stunning natural attraction known for its unique geological formations and picturesque scenery. It is most famous for the "Blue Eye" (Olho Azul), a mesmerizing natural pool that, when sunlight hits it at the right angle, creates an illusion of a glowing blue eye. The area is a popular destination for both tourists and locals who come to explore the crystal-clear waters, dramatic lava rock formations, and the small cave that houses the Blue Eye.
