The Nymphs Lagoon, or Laguna de Las Ninfas is a beautiful lagoon full of mangroves waiting to be explored. Just a short stroll from Puerto Ayora’s city center, its free entrance makes it a great spot for a family escape or romantic picnic. Visitors can either go by foot, bicycle, or taxi, and once at the lagoon they can see fish and birds such as grey herons while strolling down the wooden path. Visiting the Nymphs Lagoon can even be combined with a stop at Tortuga Bay beach as it stays on the way. Whether visitors are looking for a nature-filled adventure or just some peace and quiet, a visit to this magical place is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
