Salt Flats & Countryside

If you're visiting between December and June, then this glimpse into the local culture is something you don't want to miss. After boarding an air-conditioned bus, you'll embark on a scenic journey into the countryside surrounding Manzanillo to Salt Flats. Salt, once prized by the Spaniards to process silver, is now prized for its flavor. Several hundred seasonal workers harvest this precious commodity and today, you'll join in with a special tool and harvest salt to take home. Back on the bus, you'll travel to a fruit farm for a lesson in cultivation and a sampling. Next, you're headed to a clay brick factory where you'll learn how this ancient process is being used in modern-day construction. When it's time to call it a day, you'll head to a local beach restaurant and relax with a light snack and refreshments while enjoying the ocean views.
