Mexico Day 94 - Puerto Escindido

After a few days relaxing around the pool and eating locally in the evenings we decided to use our last night to visit the bioluminescent plankton in a local lagoon that had been recommended to us.

It was around a 45 minute drive and we arrived just as the sun was setting, we were told it's only possible to see the plankton at night. After a short boat ride we settled right in the middle of the water and were told we could jump in! The water temperature was surprisingly hot for the time of day and as soon as you touched the water the plankton lit up like Xmas fairy lights!

It was strange to swim around in, similar to swimming through glitter or something as every movement created more lights and patterns! As well as the plankton it was amazing to stare up at such a clear night sky, there seemed to be thousands of stars that all appeared more prominent than we had ever seen!

It was a great evening and the perfect way to enjoy our last night in Puerto!Read more
