Our vast natural landscape bursting with wildlife offers our youngest guests countless adventures, from nature walks alongside our resident biologist to beach trips that get up close with local marine life. Tours of our Discovery Centre are at the heart of the action, where kids can have first-hand access to the reserve’s most exciting secrets.

Children will learn how to make centuries-old crafts, including woven Ojo de Dios, and delve into the country’s fantastic culinary culture by joining cooking classes featuring fresh, authentic ingredients. Our activity space offers its own collection of traditional Mexican treasures in the form of wooden toys, wool creatures and classic board games like Lotería.
