Refuge
This refuge is about a mile north of the Hwy 3301 turnoff to El Combate. Its visitors center contains displays on local wildlife and wildlife management techniques. Outdoors you will find bird-watching trails among the ruins of an old farmstead in the Valle de Lajas (Lajas Valley). This area around the coastal plains and shores of Cabo Rojo is a major winter ground for migratory ducks, herons and songbirds, and more than 130 bird species have been sighted here. You can arrange guided hikes through the refuge at the Centro Interpretativos Las Salinas de Cabo Rojo.

Centro Interpretativos Las Salinas de Cabo Rojo
A small center further south along Hwy 301 toward the lighthouse explains the geology and ecology of the salt pans. It is staffed by knowledgeable eco-sensitive guides who can give thorough explanations of the local flora and fauna. Across the road is a three-story wooden lookout tower that offers a bird’s-eye view of the salt pans, a major bird migratory corridor.

Aqua al Cuello Restaurant
On a beautiful deck over the water this place cooks up equally beautiful food that has bagged it Puerto Rico’s best Mesón Gastronómico award in recent years. The mahimahi in creole sauce is backed up by some surprising specials. Ever tried kangaroo?
