Laguna Redonda
A wild lagoon protected area ringed by mangroves on the Miches coast, where you can take a small boat to watch birds. The lagoon and sea are visible from the summit of Montaña Redonda.
Laguna Redonda and the nearby Limón Lagoon to the east together form the Laguna Redonda and Limón Lagoons Wildlife Protected Area. The open lake, surrounded by mangroves and grassland, is home to herons, cormorants and other waterbirds. Local fishermen offer small boat trips on the lake, which take about an hour and pass mangrove channels and the point where the lagoon meets the sea. Birds are most active early in the morning and in the evening. The north side of the lagoon borders the Atlantic coast, and from nearby Montaña Redonda you can take in the full view of lagoon and coastline. For this reason, the lagoon is usually scheduled on the same day as Montaña Redonda and Playa Esmeralda. The drive from Bávaro takes about 1.5 hours. Facilities are basic, so bring your own mosquito repellent and drinking water.
