Laguna de Mandinga
You will continue your tour in Mandinga, where you will observe the behavior of some birds in the different vegetation of the place, the mangroves make the walk a moment of reflection, the boat moves slowly when entering this ecosystem. There is a great variety of restaurants installed on the Mandinga riverbank, it is difficult to choose one, since they all offer delicious fish and seafood. Of course already on the site we give them our recommendation. You can order some delicacies such as: stuffed fish au gratin, fried mojarra, enchipotlado fillet, shrimp cocktail, arroz a la tumbada (with seafood) and delicious minila (crab) tostadas! For dessert order some flamed bananas. To drink, do not miss the famous bulls, a drink based on creams, cane alcohol and fruits such as soursop, coconut or guava. Also a beer applies for the heat.
