Just before reaching the lighthouse area, you'll encounter one of Puerto Rico's most unusual landscapes: Las Salinas de Cabo Rojo.

Depending on natural conditions, these salt flats can display beautiful shades ranging from pink and red to lighter pastel tones.

The area is also an important wildlife habitat and an excellent destination for birdwatching and photography.

Stop at the observation areas, learn about the history of salt production in the region, and enjoy a landscape that looks completely different from the tropical scenery you may expect in Puerto Rico.
