The seabed is a diver’s paradise, with clear waters allowing exceptional visibility and an opportunity to explore marine life in its natural habitat.
On the coast: An amalgam of terrestrial ecosystems
The Costa Tropical is much more than golden sandy beaches. Behind the coastline, lush forests, lush mangroves and picturesque farmland stretch out. The diversity of terrestrial habitats in this region is impressive, providing shelter and food for a wide range of species, from migratory birds to land mammals such as foxes and badgers.
