Mirador de las Salinas, Environmental learning center in Boquerón, Puerto Rico
The Las Salinas Interpretative Center contains exhibits about local flora and fauna, with a three-story observation tower overlooking salt flats and mangrove forests.
The salt flats of Cabo Rojo have supplied salt to Puerto Rico since the 16th century, making them integral to the region's economic development.
Local guides share knowledge about traditional salt harvesting methods and the connection between the salt flats and the community's identity.
Visitors need reservations to access the center, which operates Thursday through Saturday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM and Sundays from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM.
The center sits adjacent to a major bird migration corridor where visitors can observe numerous species in their natural salt pan habitat.
