The province of Nueva Vizcaya never touches the ocean but actually deep under, the pressure of the
Pacific Ocean pumps out salt through the Salinas Salt Spring, one of the wonders of nature. Located
near the boundary of Benguet with Nueva Vizcaya, the Salinas Salt Springs were a source of amazement
for the Americans when they arrived at the turn of the century. It was also the source of the salt needs of
our forefathers from far and wide.
