💡 Tips

  • Mosquito repellent is absolutely mandatory year-round, especially near the lagoons at dusk.
  • Rent a bicycle: the completely flat terrain and extensive greenways make it the best way to see the rice fields.
  • Bring binoculars; the wooden hides (miradores) scattered around the delta offer world-class flamingo spotting.
  • Dining hours are strict; expect most restaurant kitchens to be firmly closed between 4 PM and 8:30 PM.
