Travel creator Zoe has been coming to Trinidad since 2015, but she only recently discovered the Salt Pond, a massive body of water she says she never knew existed.<\/p>\n
In a video posted to Instagram, Zoe described the water as extremely hot and salty, allowing her to float without effort. “Look at my feet. I’m not even doing anything. They’re just floating,” she said. She compared the sensation to being in an inflatable chair, while noting her face was sweating from the heat.<\/p>\n
Zoe explained that the ground beneath the water is strange, describing it as squishy mud that her feet sink into. She also noted that the salt level is reportedly five times that of normal seawater. “It’s actually hard to try and put your feet on the ground,” she said.<\/p>\n
The experience reminded her of the Pink Lake in Senegal, which she visited before, where the water appears pink due to salt and also makes people float. “It’s the same thing you float in there,” she said.<\/p>\n
While Zoe found the experience relaxing, she admitted some concern about the effect of the salt on her hair. She ended her video by asking if she was the only person who did not know about the Salt Pond. The post, shared by @bengadventurers.tt, has drawn 220 likes and 5 comments.<\/p>\n
