Sunlight slices across the mirrored surface of Coyuca Lagoon as your private boat threads narrow mangrove channels; water nudges the hull while kingfishers and herons dart through the tangle. The tour moves fast from quiet jungle waterways to the thunder of La Quebrada—where cliff divers fold into the Pacific—and ends amid the smells and color of a local farmers' market.
