Lagunas de Chacahua National Park

It can be reached via Federal Highway 200 or by boat from Puerto Escondido.

[3] The park has 10 different types of vegetation: “selva espinosa", swampland, deciduous, sub tropical broadleaf, mangroves, savannah, “bosque de galleria”, “tular”, palm trees, and coastal dunes.

Birds such as storks, herons, wild ducks, blue-winged teals, pelicans, and spoonbills can be found here.

[3] There are boat tours to observe the shores, mangroves and the many birds that fish these waters.

These tours usually include a stop to sample the local food and to visit a crocodile nursery which raises several Mexican Pacific coast crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus).
