(Translated by Google) We loved getting to know the Salinas de Baní, at first it was a bit scary because we got on an ugly side, but then we went on the side of some rails and a small village and it was super exciting hehehehe (Original) Nos encantó conocer las Salinas de Baní, al principio dio algo de miedo porque nos metimos por un lado feo, pero luego fuimos por el lado de unos rieles y una pequeña aldea y fue super emocionante jejjejeje

The Salt Mines (Salinas of Baní) are immense esplanades with big salt mountains that you can visit during your journey to this part of the southern Dominican Republic. Here you can see how they produce and commercialise the salt used in so many places around the world. In 1502, Columbus protected himself from the weather in Puerto Hermoso Village, which is in Las Calderas Bay, near the City of Baní. Columbus did not tell anyone about what he had found in fear of decaying this frail place. However, some of the partners, who went with him, did not keep the place secret. So, Governor Ovando thought of this place as a business, turning it into the most important salt mine of the Caribbean at that time. This salt mine is a tourist attraction that nowadays employs hundreds of people. The salt is produced in terraces, where the seawater is evaporated and gives rise to this valuable good.

Love it.

Happy! Incredible!

Great place.

(Translated by Google) A unique place. The combination of the drying ponds, with their different colours, the white of the salt and the intense blue of the sky make this place an unspeakable visual experience. (Original) Un lugar único. La combinación de las balsas de secado, con sus diferentes colores, el blanco de la sal y el intenso azul del cielo convierten a este lugar en una experiencia visual inenarrable.

It's like being with a wild girl and a gentle one at the same time.
