Phosphorescent Bay (Bahia Fosforescente) - Explore the Natural Bioluminescence in La Parguera!
On your tour of the Bioluminescent Bay in La Parguera, you will be amazed by a truly unique natural spectacle:
Bioluminescent Display:
As you enter the bay, the water will glow with a magical light. This phenomenon is caused by dinoflagellates, microscopic organisms that emit light when disturbed, creating a brilliant and magical blue-green glow.
Luminescent Effects:
You will see how every movement in the water triggers a radiant effect that spreads and shines around you, creating a fascinating light show that appears to float on the surface. The glow from the dinoflagellates reflects and amplifies, offering an impressive visual experience that you won’t find anywhere else. This tour provides an unparalleled opportunity to witness and experience one of the world’s most extraordinary natural phenomena in its purest and most magical form.
