La Parguera has a great diversity of animals. A wide variety of bird species predominate. Around 66 species of birds have been found. This responds to the fact that in this sector there are forests that allow the reproduction and nesting of resident and migratory species. Among which we can find the ladybug, brown pelican, herons, seagulls, migratory sandpipers and others. The ladybug is native to Puerto Rico, which nests in the mangrove swamp. Many birds use the coastal coastline in search of food.

Other organisms that belong to the Parguera fauna are:

• Fish - Grouper, Snapper, Red Snapper, Jarea, Sierra, Chapín
• Mollusks - Conch, Octopus
• Crustaceans - Lobsters, Crabs
• Reptiles - Hawksbill Turtles, Iguanas
• Mammals - Manatees, Dolphins

Common sunscreens contain chemicals that can harm coral reefs, as the particles are small enough to be absorbed by corals, causing toxicity and coral bleaching. Reef-friendly sunscreens are formulated without these harmful chemicals. Reef-SAFE sunscreens go a step further by using non-nano particles, which are too large for corals to ingest, helping to preserve marine ecosystems. 

Please avoid sunscreens with oxybenzone, octinoxate, and parabens. Consider wearing sun-protective clothing, like long-sleeve rash guards, as an alternative to sunscreen. If you choose a mineral-based sunscreen, ensure it is labeled ‘non-nano.’

Shark incidents in Puerto Rico’s waters are extremely rare, and serious injuries are even rarer. When you enter the ocean, it’s important to remember that it’s a natural, wild environment with many types of marine life, including sharks. Although the chances of a shark-related injury are very low, they are still part of the ocean’s ecosystem, and the ocean should be approached with respect. By learning about sharks and following safety guidelines, you can minimize even this small risk.

Standard eyeglasses can’t be worn with a snorkel mask, but prescription masks are available for those who need vision correction while snorkeling. If you’re interested, consider looking into a prescription mask option before your tour. Alternatively, contact lenses can be worn under a snorkel mask, though it’s best to close your eyes if water enters to prevent losing a lens.

Yes, snorkels allow you to breathe with your face in the water at the surface. If you’d like to dive down, though, water will enter the snorkel, so you’ll need to hold your breath until you resurface. Once back at the surface, you can clear the snorkel by blowing out the air in your mouth hard. That should clear the snorkel, but if it doesn’t, tread the water, remove the snorkel from your mouth and dump the mouthpiece out.
