From here we will board our kayaks to start our adventure throughout the lagoon to observe a variety of endemic and migratory bids,(depending on the season we will be able to see from rosetta spoonbills, herons, hawks, parrots, aningas, pelicans, king fisherman, storks, and many more), after going along the mangrove tunnels we will head up river to enjoy the breathaking views that the ocean and mainland have to offer.
