Birdwatching Highlights
Herons and frigatebirds can be spotted around nearby lagoons and mangroves, while birds of prey often soar above the hills. The best times for birdwatching are early morning or at sunset, whether you join a guided walk or simply observe from jungle-surrounded accommodations.
Other Wildlife in the Area
Besides turtles and birds, keep an eye out for:
-
Iguanas, coatis, and raccoons in forested or quiet areas.

Dolphins and humpback whales (December to March) during ocean tours.

Armadillos and opossums, often active at night.
Always observe animals from a distance, avoid feeding them, and follow the guidance of local experts to ensure safe and responsible encounters.
