The day opens on a narrow Caribbean shore where breeze and salt meet stone: guides lead a small group past scrubby coastal forest toward a low tower that frames the turquoise sea and the scalloped outline of ancient walls. Birds call from low branches and the ocean dares you with a break of foam below the cliffs.

Sun protection is essential
Bring high-SPF sunscreen and a wide-brim hat—shade is limited at the ruins and beach, and the sun is strong year-round.

Paths at the archaeological site and Jaguar Park include uneven limestone and steps; closed-toe shoes or secure sandals reduce slip risk.
Stay hydrated
Carry a refillable bottle; the tour supplies bottled water but having your own helps during walks in heat.
