The El Doradillo Protected Area is visited every season by groups of mother whales with calves, due to the calmness of its waters and the unusual depth of the coast (due to its high slope), which causes the whales to get very close to the coast. beach. The latter makes coastal watching possible, with a high probability of observing these wonderful mammals just 20 or 30 meters from the coast.
Coastal watching is an ideal complement for those people who observed whales on board, as well as an option for people who cannot carry out whale watching by boat.
Using our 4 x 4 vehicles, we will be able to enter and travel through different terrains to contemplate and enjoy the geography, fauna and flora of this area, entering different beaches.
