Islas Marietas
★★★★☆
(675)
The Marietas Islands are a UNESCO World Heritage site and for good reason; the biodiversity found here is incredible and the sheer number of marine animals unmatched.
Wildlife encounters depend on the time of year but can include humpback whales, whale sharks, manta rays, dolphins, and massive sea turtles.
