Offshore fishing:
The emerald green Gulf of Mexico is not as transparent as the Caribbean Sea, due to the great quantity of zoo and phytoplankton that it contains. The plankton is the ideal food of a lot of little fishes that in turn attract bigger fish giving way to the continuity of the food chain. This is the reason why the Gulf of Mexico is the habitat of hundreds of sea species. Just in front of Hotel Eco Paraiso, it is possible to capture in fairly shallow waters more than 10 different edible fish like Mouth, Yellow tailed, Red and Spotted Snappers, Groupers, Sea Trout, Barracudas, Palomets, amongst others.
