El Ballenato Touristic Center

El Ballenato beach is a virgin beach where a community group has established a comfortable space for local, national and international visitors. This ecotourism center has an avant-garde and environmentally friendly design. It is a place for those who seek the simple and authentic pleasure of nature, by the sea, the observation of marine birds and the austere life of fishermen.

Here it is possible to spend the night under a palapa, in a tent or in hammocks, you can also enjoy the starry sky as in few other places. Enjoying the beach with the open sea and the landscape of the estuary that can be traveled by boat, are some of the most comfortable activities that one can do in this paradisiacal place.

To get here, take a boat from the Las Garzas dock (entrance to La Encrucijada Biosphere Reserve). This place is located 18 km from the town of Acapetahua. The boat ride through the estuary between mangroves is approximately 20 minutes.
