Thanks @puerto_escondido_mx for this crazy experience !! I chose to opt for the morning bioluminescence at 5AM and it was great. After watching the stars in the middle of the lagoon, we went for a swim with the bioluminescent plankton, to finally enjoy one of the most beautiful sunrise I’ve ever seen. On our way back, we were able to see lots of birds and plants thanks to our amazing local guide. I absolutely recommend !
