). Aside from awesome snorkeling, feral donkeys
and eco-camps, the park's greatest gift to visitors is its hiking. Dozens of trails wind through
the wild terrain, taking trekkers to cliff-top overlooks, petroglyphs and sugar-mill ruins.
Several lead to beaches prime for swimming with turtles and spotted eagle rays. The paths
are short and easy for the most part, so that any reasonably fit hiker can walk them and reap
the rewards.
