Embark on a journey across the diverse terrain of Santa Teresa National Park, an expansive plot of protected land that ends at the Atlantic Ocean. Relax on one of the park's many pristine, uncrowded beaches, or take a hike to see the colonial fortress that stands on a hilltop. For wildlife, head to the national park's lagoons to spot flamingos, and to the coastal sanctuary to catch glimpses of sea-turtles. The park's main office offers a range of services, including a market, bakery, and restaurant. Stock up on supplies before beginning your adventure.
