For the most restless, a kayak or paddleboard ride are good options, every hour of the day has something special to admire, even more so if it is a sunrise or sunset. And if you are looking for more experiences, you can do some hiking, you will find 6 trails that take you to the viewpoints from where you can appreciate incredible scenarios that are worth portraying.
