Top Attractions in Guasacate
💡 Arrive before 9am for the best selection of bushels of limes, mangos, and avocados. Bring small bills—vendors rarely have change.
💡 Go at high tide and hire a local guide from the village for 200–300 Córdobas. They'll paddle you into the narrow creeks where the wildlife is most active.
💡 Walk south toward the estuary at low tide to spot crabs and egrets. Avoid the strong rip currents near the river mouth.
💡 Check tide tables first—you need about two hours of falling tide to cross safely. Bring reef shoes; the sandbar is studded with broken shells.
💡 Start the hike early—before 7am to beat the heat. Pack water and wear trainers. The track starts behind the last house at the northern end of the main road.
