Rain Alert
If you visit any of these beaches, rivers, or other types of resorts this Easter Week, keep in mind that the country is under a rainy season alert, so caution is recommended in coastal areas.
We also recommend you to protect the places you visit, since the beaches and other natural resources are significantly deteriorated by the activities of human beings, mainly by pollution.
