A natural and manmade system of canals and navigable lagoons of great scenic beauty cross the park from southeast to northwest thus forming the habitat for seven species of river turtles, manatees, reptiles, mammals such as howler and spider monkeys and crustaceans plus some 30 freshwater species of fish. There are 300 different species of birds. Eleven habitats have been identified in the park with the crab wood, banak, Santa Maria, bully tree and dove wood among the many trees. Important: from July to September, you can normally enjoy the opportunity to witness the arrivals of the green sea turtle.
