Enjoy a lagoon tour at Playa Ventanilla where you will see crocodiles, birds, iguanas, white tailed deer, pigmy skunk, tropical anteater, raccoon, fresh-water turtles, armadillo, the jaguarundi and possum.
The lagoon is cut off from the sea by the beach much of the year and is full of mangroves as well as a wide variety of wildlife. The two principle mangrove types here are the red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) and the white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa). Tannins from the roots of the red mangrove turn the lagoon's water reddish in the shallows and black in deeper areas. In the mornings, the lagoon fills with the sounds of the many birds that can be found here, including woodpeckers, kingfishers, ducks, storks cormorants, herons and others.
