We will make a technical stop to buy the entrance ticket to the park and the entrance registration of every traveler.

Very close to the beach is a reef, home to a large number of marine species, and an ideal place to practice snorkeling and diving. This activity is not included, but you can contact us if you are interested in adding it.
