Mirador de las Salinas, Environmental learning center in Boquerón, Puerto Rico

The salt flats of Cabo Rojo have supplied salt to Puerto Rico since the 16th century. This activity shaped the region's economic development for centuries.
The name reflects the salt flats that have shaped local identity for generations. You can observe how salt production remains woven into the landscape and daily connection people have with this place.

This location sits along a major bird migration corridor where you can watch numerous species in their natural salt pan habitat. Its position makes it a gathering spot for bird watchers during migration seasons.
