Boca Grande: Town Center, River Trips and Nature Trails

Turis Click offers activities by scooter, on the river and on nature trails, as well as beaches and sights throughout the municipality. The specific location is therefore a separate consideration when planning your trip.

Guided Tour of the Town Center

Turis Click offers guided scooter tours through the town center of López. The tours take in the town’s streets, stories and important places. This brings together different aspects of López in a guided ride. The focus is on the town center and its stories. This sets the scooter tour apart from the river trips and birdwatching: those activities focus on a guided ride in a Potrillo or on birds along nature trails, respectively. If you are especially interested in the town’s streets and stories, this town-center tour matches that focus.

Beaches and Sights Throughout the Municipality

A municipal plan for the 2016–2019 period lists the sea beaches of San José at the mouth of the Río Micay–Naya (Bocas de Micay), Santa Rita, Berrugatero, Punta Coco and Caimanero in the municipality of López de Micay. Sights in the municipality include Santa Bárbara, Salto de Gurumendi, the Río Joly with a hydroelectric plant, Chuare, the Río Sigui with the “La Chorrera” waterfall, and three pools formed by rocks. The water-related features can be clearly distinguished: San José is at a river mouth, a hydroelectric plant is located on the Río Joly, and the La Chorrera waterfall is part of the Río Sigui. The three pools, in turn, are formed by rocks. If you are specifically looking for a waterfall or a rock pool when planning your trip, you can distinguish these features from the information that San José is at a river mouth.

River Trip and Birdwatching

In the municipality of López de Micay, Turis Click offers guided river trips in a Potrillo, which are considered a safe experience. The focus of this activity is the river trip, the Potrillo and the guide. Turis Click also offers guided birdwatching on nature trails. This activity focuses on birds and paths through nature; it is different in scope from the river trip. Both activities are guided or accompanied, but they clearly appeal to different interests: a river trip in a Potrillo or birdwatching on a nature trail. Together with the scooter tour, they offer a comparison of three different types of activity.
