How the pass works.

  • The pass is good for one day.
  • If you're staying 3+ nights, you'll need a new ticket for each additional park-access day.
  • Each sector (Canal vs Cerro) requires its own ticket.

Why it matters.

The fee funds the park's management, conservation work, trail maintenance, and the certified-guide system that protects the green sea turtles during nesting season. It's one of the most direct ways your visit supports the ecosystem you came to see.
