There are plenty of self-guided activities for independent travelers as well as a wide variety of organized excursions and tours.

In the Ballena Marine National Park, you can swim with dolphins, watch humpback whales in migration, snorkel, dive or kayak. You can swim under the towering 600-foot twin waterfalls of Diamante, go horseback riding through the rainforest, hike from one deserted beach to another, witness stunning sunsets, learn to surf and explore mangrove swamps and caves on canoes.
