About
Quick facts: This park protects over 300 animal species, including flamingos and hermit crabs. It covers a strip of 50 square kilometers of land and sea along the coast, where mangroves create a vital ecosystem.
Highlights: Here you can see in action how the mangroves filter seawater to turn it into fresh habitat and support marine life. The park is also one of the few natural places where visitors can spend the night in floating cabins within the mangroves.
Insider tips
- Wear light clothing and sun protection because of the warm and humid climate.
- Sunrise is the best time to photograph active wildlife.
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking on sandy paths and wet wood.
- Avoid weekends if you want fewer visitors and tranquility.
