LOS ARCOS islands and UNDERWATER NATIONAL PARK
Group of three small islands with arches and caves that have been sculpted by the force of the ocean over thousands of
years and this Underwater National Park has been rightfully named Los Arcos (The Arches). From the main arch, where
depths range from

beginning of the continental platform. The endangered Blue Footed Boobie birds thrive on these islands, besides here,
they are only found in the " Sea of Cortez" and "Galapagos" Islands
