About
Quick facts: Offers nearly 1,300 hectares of diverse ecosystems, including mangrove forests and coral reefs. Hiking trails lead through tropical jungle and coastal areas, where rare species such as sea turtles can be encountered.
Highlights: The longest hiking trail leads all the way to the coast, where you can sink your fingers into the sand and gaze at the turquoise sea. In the quietest part, you can find tiny, lazy water lilies that move slowly in the daylight.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and pleasant clothing, as the trail can be slippery and wet.
- Photograph the seaside views at sunrise or sunset, when the light is especially beautiful.
- Avoid visiting between late morning and noon, when the heat is most intense and there is less shade.
- If you want to see sea turtles, ask the local guides, who know the best spots.
