Cayos Zapatilla, a beautiful place of pristine nature

The two small islands are surrounded by coral reefs teeming with marine life. In addition to marine life, Zapatilla Cays is also home to a wide variety of birds and reptiles. The island is part of the Bastimentos Island National Marine Park, which protects the coral reefs, beaches and wildlife of the area.

One of the most important wildlife events is the migration of turtles that come to lay their eggs on these beaches from March through September. These islands are essential ecological sites for the critically endangered hawksbill turtles that nest on their shores.

Their white sandy beaches caressed by crystal clear waters full of life and their calm and relaxed atmosphere make them a paradisiacal destination where you can unwind under the shade of a coconut tree or walk along the sand feeling the sea breeze.

Strolling through the islands through its natural trails, discovering the beauty of the local flora and fauna can be a unique experience. Its mangroves and white sand beaches are some of the most impressive landscapes of the island, offering an unforgettable alternative for those seeking adventures in nature.

Divers and snorkelers will be able to dive and explore the universe of its crystal-clear waters full of marine life, enjoying the incredible experience of swimming among corals and colorful fish.

It is important to keep in mind that these wonderful islands are in a protected area, and it is necessary to follow the rules and regulations of the Bastimentos Island National Marine Park to preserve the nature and wildlife of the area. The area lacks tourist infrastructure, making the place a true paradise; an opportunity to disconnect from civilization surrounded by the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea.

The only way to access the islands is by private means, and thanks to the non-existent hotel and gastronomic offer, it offers us the opportunity to enjoy the place in an authentic and independent way, respecting at all times the conservation guidelines for being a protected area. It is an ideal place to arrive by private boat and connect with its waters and beaches, tuning into the sounds and colors that wild nature offers us in this haven of peace.
