Wildlife : Uvita is famous for the migration of humpback whales to its warm and calm waters
The whales :visit in December to March and from August to November each year. In the national Park :Marina Ballena Ballena the Whales and babies are safe . That’s why the park is called Parque National Marina Ballena .Well not only by the whales that migrate here, but where resident dolphin populations (bottlenose, spinner, and spotted dolphins) are also found and can be spotted easily !
