We will sail in the heart of the wilderness, surrounded by animals such as flamingos and we will cross mangroves to an "ojo de agua": a fresh water spring in which we will cool down and relax. During this adventure, we will have to be vigilant about the environment that surrounds us... because clues will be hidden here and there and we must solve this quest if we want to discover... The "local treasure"! Back on the boat, a romantic picnic lunch on a beach, in a unique and peaceful place.
