Today aboard National Geographic Quest, we visited two remarkable locations. In the morning, we explored Celestia Beach, a pristine and secluded stretch of white sand. Guests enjoyed a leisurely walk, perfect for birdwatching, where we spotted a howler monkey in the trees. The waves were inviting, providing a fun opportunity to play in the surf.
In the afternoon, we ventured into the Palmares Mangrove Forest despite a light rain. The weather did not dampen our spirits, as we observed a variety of bird species, including woodpeckers, herons, and flycatchers. A highlight was seeing an American crocodile resting near the water's edge, a true spectacle.
As the day came to a close, we returned to the ship and were treated to a breathtaking sunset, the perfect ending to a fulfilling day of exploration.
