MARIETA ISLANDS
Only a few short miles from the tip of Punta Mita, the Marietas Islands were discovered and made famous by Jean-Michel Cousteau in the 1970s. The rocky architecture, formed by ancient volcanic flows, provides sanctuary for a complex marine ecosystem that includes sea turtles, dolphins, octopus, manta rays, tropical fish, migrating whales and more. A national marine preserve, the islands are a divers’ dream—crystal clear waters with a great variety of caves, tunnels, archways, coral reef and other sea life to explore. The islands are also a protected bird sanctuary, home to many rare species of birds, including the Blue-Footed Booby. |
