Hermoso pueblo pesquero con atardeceres y amaneceres increíbles. El tour en barco es precioso
Hermoso lugar para visitar, me parece economico si solo vas de paso. Los tours si si van entre los 1500 a 2000 con propina por lancha. Les recomiendo un montón al Sr Luiscel, ofrece un tour super bueno! Aparte de que ya tiene amigos de la fauna que lo conocen y ya saben cuando el va por la Ria...
El hotel "Rio largartos" es muy popular, incluye desayuno me gustó. Y sí, hay escursiones pero si tienen carro mejor vayan directo a las coloradas porque pues es a dónde mayormente te llevan y en las coloradas pues también hay escursiones. Está muy padre todas las actividades
Il Rio lo abbiamo visitato con Betta questa estate. Posto bellissimo da non perdere per la bellezza degli incontri possibili e ravvicinati con fenicotteri, pellicani, uccelli di diverse specie e … coccodrilli !!! Esperienza da provare assolutamente !!!
Les habitants sont tous adorables, les visites du parc nationales sont géniales. Beaucoup d'espèces d'oiseaux et des crocodiles. Un endroit agréable et paisible!!
No olvides pasear por el malecón, nos tocó un hermoso atardecer, los colores combinaron con los flamingos, toma un tour para conocer la flora y fauna del lugar, te cobran al rededor de 1500 en una lancha para 6 personas
Rio lagartos es hermoso el día que fuimos no había tantos lagartos de hecho solo uno pero el ambiente, el ecosistema es hermoso sin duda me parece un gran lugar para visitar en tema de flamingos la época no permitía acercarnos tanto pero se puede ver desde la lancha
We had a great time in Rio Lagartos. The town is cute and colourful and boat tripa to nature reserve are absolutelly amazing. Our guide was Ariel Massa and he was exceptional. Fully recommend his boat tour!

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
