After visiting the island, the boat continues along the shoreline in search of wildlife. Keep an eye out for crocodiles resting near the water, turtles, and a variety of tropical birds.

Getting there by bike
The ride to Las Lagunas is straightforward and enjoyable. From San Miguel, you follow the main road through forested surroundings on a mix of paved and gravel surfaces.
Traffic is usually very light, making for a calm and comfortable ride. Much of the route is shaded, although the first few kilometers offer limited cover. The road rolls gently with short climbs and descents, and the surrounding forest often rewards attentive riders with sightings of monkeys and tropical birds.
The entrance to Las Lagunas is directly on the main road and is easy to spot. You will likely need to stop at the security gate to let them know you are visiting before continuing inside.
