One of the few living reefs in the eastern Pacific, where colorful marine life thrives in crystal-clear waters.
Start your visit at Cabo Pulmo, a protected National Marine Park and UNESCO-recognized reef, nicknamed “The Aquarium of the World” for its 800+ species of marine life. Begin with snorkeling among vibrant corals, tropical fish, rays, and reef sharks, then explore the calm bay by kayak or stand-up paddleboard along the rugged desert coastline. On land, book in advance to join a guided eco-tour to learn about the fragile desert-and-sea ecosystem, spotting native flora and wildlife. Relax on secluded beaches, capturing untouched coves and dramatic landscapes. This remote, off-the-beaten-path paradise showcases sustainable eco-tourism at its finest—so please remember to bring eco-friendly sunscreen and respect the reserve’s “no-touch” rules to protect this delicate environment.
