Since pre-Hispanic times, the main productive and commercial activity in Zapotitlán has been the exploitation of salt. The salt mines, built on the slopes of the river canyon, use the technique of solar evaporation, which gives rise to a process that changes the color and texture of the salt until it is stored in the caves that open above the salt mines.
