Swim with careLagoon & mangroveFew people

Not a beach but a lagoon — and the water trip most asked for in Puerto: mangroves, over two hundred bird species at dawn and bioluminescence at night.

Getting there

Half an hour west on Highway 200, toward Río Grande. Almost every agency in town runs the trip.

Worth knowing

Bioluminescence shows best on a new moon, June to December. If the moon is full, go at dawn for the birds instead.
