Guerrero Negro Saltworks
Home to the world's largest saltworks, the Guerrero Negro Saltworks is one of Baja California Sur's most extraordinary industrial and natural landscapes. Stretching across vast evaporation ponds within the Ojo de Liebre Lagoon complex, the site produces millions of tons of sea salt each year while sharing the landscape with one of the world's most important ecosystems for migratory birds and gray whales. Guided tours offer visitors a fascinating look at the salt harvesting process and the remarkable scale of this unique operation.
