Exportadora de Sal is the largest natural outdoor saltworks facility in the world. 51% owned by the Mexican government and 49% by the Mitsubishi Corporation. Tours can be made through special arrangements (plan ahead if this is of interest to you). Exportadora de Sal is attempting to build a similar facility at San Ignacio Lagoon, further south on the peninsula, but is being met with understandable opposition from environmentalists (who've garnered considerable press for their cause, including a story on a special CNN broadcast), due to the plans of a mile and a half long pier that could affect that destination for Gray Whales that winter there.
