Two beaches can be visited here, just beyond the first beach is a saltwater lagoon with flamingos. One of the beaches look green because of the olivine crystals, and the other is appropriately called Flour Beach because of the powdery white sand, made from fine, pulverized coral. Watch your feet if wading in the water, stingrays love to hang out here as well. Devil’s Crown boasts one of the finest snorkeling opportunities. Below the surface are amazing volcanic structures that have submerged over time. Hundreds of colorful fish species can be seen along the reef, along with sharks, rays, sea turtles, sea lions, and rays. It’s a beautiful underwater spectacle that cannot be missed.

Goodbye Brazil
“The really magical things are the ones that happen right in front of you. A lot of the time you keep looking for beauty, but it is already there. And if you look with a bit more intention, you see it.” ― Vik Muniz
Great trip to Patagonia. All our wishes were integrated into the itinerary.
The personal concierge service was perfect. She helped with any questions we had, she even managed to get us a very early Check-in into the hotel in Buenos Aires.
At every airport, we were picked up, no worries at all. We already booked our next vacation with Across South America. Absolutely to be recommended.
