Cabo Pulmo National Park
Cabo Pulmo National Park, Marine national park on Gulf of California coast, Mexico.
Description
Cabo Pulmo National Park is a marine reserve stretching along the eastern coast of Baja California Sur. The underwater environment contains the oldest coral reef system in North America, supporting diverse marine life.
History
Protection came in 1995 after overfishing had depleted marine resources significantly. The recovery that followed showed how conservation efforts could restore ocean health when given time and commitment.
Culture
The area reflects the efforts of local fishing communities who worked to establish protection programs and now guide visitors responsibly. Their involvement shaped how the place operates and what tourists experience today.
Practical
Visitors can snorkel, dive, and kayak with guidance from certified specialists who know the best conditions and locations. Some areas feature shallow water, making activities accessible to people with varying experience levels.
Did you know?
The reef system shelters eleven coral species, a notably high diversity for this region. Several of the world's rarest sea turtle species find refuge here as well.
