Salt Flats Interpretive Center of Cabo Rojo
Channel: Messy Suitcase!
Date: 2023-04-20

We got a private tour of the Salt Flats and Wildlife Refuge on the southwestern tip of Puerto Rico. Our neighbors Padro and Dafne, who are among the volunteers who operate the facility’s interpretive center,  took us on a private hike through the dry forest, and to the top of the Lookout Tour, where we learned about the salt industry. They shared Puerto Rican history regarding the salt flats and cotton, and told us about the ravages of Hurricane Fiona last year on the Salt Flats.

This is also a popular place to come birding and hiking. However, make sure you leave by 3 PM, when they lock the gate! 

Guided tours are free but must be arranged in advance. The Educational Environmental Center (CAE) offers a space for educational activities and information about flora and fauna.

The center runs on donations. Don’t forget to make one after your tour!

Why are we doing this? Because life is short and the world is big, and we’re navigating it with a messy suitcase as we explore as much as we can. Join us on the adventure!
