We will enter Playa Escondida: We will swim approx. 80 meters (6 to 7 minutes round trip) crossing the Marine Tunnel that will take us inside the crater. The Snorqueling will be in Calavera Reef, you will know the only fish that grows its own food. Everyone falls in love with the blue-footed Bobo Bird during bird watching. We will visit the idyllic Secret Beach, which is only accessible a few months of the year due to changing sea currents. We will visit the second crater known as ̈Stone Bridge ̈.
