Amazing place with incredible views around it. Since you enter to the main entrance from aldea el aguacate up to laguna brava you'll find great views and plenty of parking in case you go by your own. But also there are pickup cars that will drive you to the entrance of the lagoon. There are some local restaurants and some kind of 7 eleven stores "tiendas" where you can get some stuff that might missed. This a place highly recommended if you are looking for adventure. I went there on March but locals recommend to visit from April to May for the best weather experience.

Excellent, the place is very well maintained, preserving its natural essence and remaining largely undeveloped. Local people need training to improve hygiene and offer better food options. Otherwise, it's an experience well worth having.
