Located in the Southwest corner of Puerto Rico, the salt flats not only
are one of the most important points for migrating shorebirds in the
Eastern Caribbean, but it is also important in Cabo Rojo´s economic
development through history, and a prime fish habitat.  In 1999 the salt
flats became part of the US Fish and Wildlife Service system.

Legends and tales of pirates, a combat between two towns to have the
control of the salt production, an old lighthouse built by the Spaniards,
unique fauna and flora, are only part of what you will learn during this
imaginary journey through time and space.
