I took a kayak tour in the mangrove 😊. Our guide was fantastic: friendly, passionate, and very attentive to helping us discover the local wildlife. We were fortunate to see several animals, including caimans, flamingos, many birds, and crabs. A very pleasant outing in a beautiful setting.

Beautiful morning spent on a quiet paddle learning about the amazing local plants, animals and birds from our wonderful guide Iván. One of the highlights was how much he cared. It was about preserving this place for generations to come.
