Overview

During the walk you will be accompanied by your local tour guide, who will show you and explain everything about the place. The Marino Ballena National Park is a natural treasure that offers a rich diversity of marine and terrestrial ecosystems. This park is famous for its Tombolo (whale's tail) formation, which is revealed at low tide.

Within the park, there are diverse ecosystems, such as coral reefs, seagrass meadows and beaches. These habitats are essential for the survival of numerous marine species. The mangrove area also plays a crucial role, serving as a refuge and breeding area for many species, as well as the forest area that provides food for different species of mammals, amphibians, reptiles and birds.

Exploring the Marino Ballena National Park is not only an adventure, but also an opportunity to understand the importance of protecting these valuable ecosystems and the species that depend on them, and how we can help natural resources.
