Less than a mile up the coast from the resort are three giant offshore rock formations that comprise Los Arcos National Park where we went to snorkel. The name Los Arcos (The Arches) comes from the arching caves and grottoes that have been carved out by time and the pounding surf. The area is now a federal underwater park and eco-reserve. It has some of the best underwater exploring along the coast. These small islands and surrounding reefs, tunnels, caves, and arches are teeming with marine life. We saw a wide variety of sea life. When we first jumped in, our guide threw some bread to attract the fish. Some of the fish were pretty large and there were so many fish surrounding us that Shelby started screaming.
