Horseback riding
$40 for a full day
You can join a horse or mule tour in the nature park. Most of the agencies in town should offer these tours when asked.
Several tour agents organise trips to the Poor Man's Galapagos: Isla la Plata standard price for tourists $40 - bargaining seems worthwhile, some pay only half that price!, 1 1/2 hours boat ride. On the island you will be able to see plenty of blue and red footed boobies, frigate birds, sea turtles, and if you're lucky, sea lions. The tour is combined with whale watching trips, if it's the right season. The humpbackwhale season is from June to September. Diving is also possible.
