What to expect
Riserva Naturale Saline Di Trapani E Paceco
In the first part of the tour you will have the opportunity to take a relaxing walk, discovering the infinite shades of white that characterize the salt, not to mention the blue of the sea, the gray clay and the pink of the tanks. This route follows the perimeter of the salt pan until it reaches the banks of the salt pans where the water acts as a mirror to the sky. Through this tour, the Culcasi salt pans offer an experience suitable for all age groups within the WWF reserve, among protected plants and birds, so you can see the salt that forms in the tanks by collecting it with your hands and following step by step the entire process that transforms sea water into salt that everyone knows.

The museum is located inside an ancient baglio and is included in the official guide of the European Union. It is a strong testimony of the union that has always linked salt and sea.
