Punta Mosquito

Once the instructions were given, we take the kayaks and start paddling towards Punta Mosquito, approximately 2 km, leaving the light pollution behind (respecting the navigation limits). Looking for the best concentration of plankton We will show you the bioluminescence walking on the sandbank (if the tide is low), you will be able to see how blue or green dots light up in each footprint of your feet and hands, something magical. Later you will go a little deeper to swim and see this magical phenomenon in a different way, with each movement thousands of luminescent microorganisms light up, or sometimes like a neon light around you. If the sky is clear, it will be another spectacle to observe the Milky Way and, depending on the time, some planets and shooting stars; You will literally see stars in the water and in the sky. Due it is a natural phenomenon, the intensity can vary, from 20% to 100%, as well as the tone.
