Jardines de la Reina, declared a Marine Park in 1996, is one of the last virgin reefs in the Caribbean and a unique example of what these ecosystems were like in their original state. Its walls covered with colourful sponges, black corals, gorgonians, mangroves and seagrass beds form a fragile and extraordinarily rich network that maintains exceptional biodiversity and visibility exceeding 40 metres. <\/p>\n\n

It is common to find large populations of sharks (silky, grey and nurse), enormous groupers, snappers and schools of shad here, and it is also one of the few places in the world where it is possible to snorkel with crocodiles safely and under the supervision of an authorised operator. In addition, this natural sanctuary serves as a refuge for dozens of species of migratory birds and only allows one company to operate in order to protect the ecosystem. A truly unique destination both in and out of the water.Translated with DeepL.com (free version) <\/p>\n\n
