Amazing experience with friendly locals. Hiked into the jungle hoping to see a harpy eagle. Beautiful hike through mainly untouched jungle forest. We didn’t get to see the eagles but were able to assist in releasing a few hundred sea turtles.

Wow, that was one of the best trips of my life. On foot from the town Garachinè. 12 hours through the jungle and then a tremendous sunset. Sleeping in a typical house of the tribe there. Unforgettable. There are no tourist agencies that offer a trip like this. Getting there is difficult because of the tide, but we made it.

Dead Beach is a historical place where the culture and beach welcome you. It is a cozy place where you can learn about its history and culture of the inhabitants. Visit places like the waterfall, the viewpoint, the house of an old tuli, big waves, for those who love extreme sports, be sure to come. Want to take a trip to Playa Muerdo contact 67660085 wap sap
