ACA-Isla Cedros

[star gazer]

Roberto,

I have cruised by Isla Cedros and have a question. Isla Cedros has the third largest seaport in Mexico; they ship salt that is processed in Guerrero Negro.

The salt is loaded into barges and towed over forty miles from Guerrero Negro to Isla Cedros. Why was Isla Cedros selected for shipping and Guerrero Negro not?

Thanks,

Charles

I'll have to research this fact, I haven't heard of either ports.

There is a great web page with many interesting facts about Mexico:

And for the Los Cedros, here's a very good explanation of the island.
