Island Tour (dunes and mangroves)

Service Description

Join us on a unique journey through two of Magdalena Bay's most impressive ecosystems: the majestic mangroves and the coastal dunes. This tour is a perfect combination of gentle adventure, connection with nature, and the discovery of landscapes that seem out of this world. We begin the route by boat or panga, traveling through canals surrounded by dense mangroves, where the roots emerge from the water like living sculptures. Here, life abounds: resident and migratory birds such as herons, ibises, ospreys, and kingfishers adorn the sky and the branches, while the water is home to fish, crabs, and even small juvenile sharks. Our guides will share fascinating facts about the ecological importance of these "blue forests," their role as a natural nursery and storm barrier. Afterward, we venture into the other side of paradise: the vast sand dunes that stretch like golden deserts until they meet the ocean. We walk along ridges that change shape with the wind, observing the contrast between the coastal vegetation and the views of the endless sea. Here, the silence is only interrupted by the wind and the crunch of the sand beneath your feet. It's a perfect place to contemplate, take photographs, or simply marvel at the immensity of the landscape. This tour is ideal for all ages and fitness levels, as it combines boat rides with light walks. You'll not only enjoy the biodiversity but also local history, as our guides will tell you anecdotes about fishermen, explorers, and the vibrant culture of Puerto San Carlos. Recommendations: Wear cool, comfortable clothing, a hat, sunglasses, biodegradable sunscreen, and your camera. This activity is recommended early in the morning or at dusk to enjoy the best light and avoid the intense heat.
