There are tours that will take you on a boat ride through these beautiful places and that offer you to practice snorkeling or diving, so that you can see them up close.

At the incredible Balandra Beach, considered one of the most beautiful in the world, you can have the experience of swimming with sea lions. Don't miss the opportunity to interact with the sea lion colonies that inhabit the area.
