Cayos Cochinos

Cayos Cochinos is the spot to go if you've ever wanted to go island hopping. Cayos Cochinos is a Caribbean archipelago made up of two small islands and thirteen coral cays, or small sand islands.

The flora and wildlife of the cays are more closely related to the mainland than the bay islands. They are surrounded by sandy beaches, which are ideal for Carey sea turtle breeding (Hawksbill). The Cochino Cays Boa, known for its pink colouring, is well-known among its terrestrial fauna. Both cays include shrubby flora that is in outstanding shape. These cays are also known for their excellent fishing. The coral reefs encircling the cays are small and do not form a continuous barrier.

Cayos Cochinos is a great site to snorkel and dive because the coral reefs are part of the world's second largest system. If you don't want to do either, there's always swimming, sunbathing, or just plain relaxing to do.
