In my previous posts, I told you about the spectacular day I spent in Mochima, specifically at Las Maritas, one of the most popular and beautiful beaches in the area.

Las Maritas is known not only for being one of the closest beaches to townβ€”just a 10- or 15-minute boat ride awayβ€”but also for its crystal-clear blue water, white sand, and shallow waters, making it the perfect beach if you have children.


En mis posts anteriores, les contΓ© sobre el dΓ­a espectacular que pasΓ© en Mochima, especΓ­ficamente en Las Maritas, una de las playas mΓ‘s populares y hermosas de la zona.

Las Maritas es conocida no solo por ser una de las playas mΓ‘s cercanas al pueblo β€”a solo 10 o 15 minutos en barcoβ€” sino tambiΓ©n por sus aguas cristalinas de color azul, arena blanca y aguas poco profundas, lo que la convierte en la playa perfecta si viajan con niΓ±os.

But another of the most striking features of this beach is its surroundings, filled with large and small stones and a vast natural carpet of seashells, pieces of coral, and dried seaweed. A must-see if you're lucky enough to visit this beach.


Pero otro de los aspectos mΓ‘s llamativos de esta playa es su entorno, repleto de piedras de todos los tamaΓ±os y una vasta alfombra natural de conchas, trozos de coral y algas secas. Una visita obligada si tienes la suerte de visitarla.

As a recommendation, you should apply plenty of sunscreen to your body and face if you plan to do this hike. You should also wear a hat or cap and, most importantly, wear suitable and comfortable footwear that protects your feet, as the path is full of sharp and slippery stones that can cause falls.

Se recomienda aplicar abundante protector solar en el cuerpo y la cara si planeas realizar esta caminata. TambiΓ©n debes usar sombrero o gorra y, sobre todo, calzado adecuado y cΓ³modo que proteja tus pies, ya que el sendero estΓ‘ lleno de piedras afiladas y resbaladizas que pueden provocar caΓ­das.

Although the sea is nearby, the vegetation in this area is xerophytic, dry, and sparse. There are no leafy trees, which is why the sun is so harsh. The little vegetation that exists is neither lush nor dense, consisting only of shrubs and dry branches. Similarly, there are places where the soil is orange or ochre.


Aunque el mar estΓ‘ cerca, la vegetaciΓ³n de esta zona es xerΓ³fita, seca y escasa. No hay Γ‘rboles frondosos, por lo que el sol es muy intenso. La poca vegetaciΓ³n existente no es ni exuberante ni densa, sino que se compone ΓΊnicamente de arbustos y ramas secas. Asimismo, hay zonas donde el suelo es de color naranja u ocre.

As you walk, you might find treasures: a graveyard of enormous corals that blend in with the rocks. If you're like me and enjoy collecting stones, pieces of coral, shells, and snails, you'll be thrilled because there are colorful pebbles, small and large, and even snails perfect for decorating or making jewelry.


Mientras caminas, podrΓ­as encontrar tesoros: un cementerio de enormes corales que se mimetizan con las rocas. Si eres como yo y disfrutas coleccionando piedras, trozos de coral, conchas y caracoles, te encantarΓ‘, porque hay guijarros de colores, pequeΓ±os y grandes, e incluso caracoles perfectos para decorar o hacer joyas.

Because of its beauty and unique character, this landscape is perfect for taking photographs. The open sea, the stones that range in color from white to black, the white sand, and the carpet of broken coral create a striking and unique view of this beach.


Por su belleza y singularidad, este paisaje es perfecto para tomar fotografΓ­as. El mar abierto, las piedras que varΓ­an en color desde el blanco hasta el negro, la arena blanca y el manto de coral roto crean una vista impactante y ΓΊnica de esta playa.

We learned that many adventurous tourists used to choose this area of ​​the beach for camping, but due to new regulations, it's now prohibited. Although the locals say that with proper permission, some researchers have spent the night in this area, but only during the off-season.


Nos enteramos de que muchos turistas aventureros solΓ­an elegir esta zona de la playa para acampar, pero debido a las nuevas regulaciones, ahora estΓ‘ prohibido. Aunque los lugareΓ±os dicen que con el permiso correspondiente, algunos investigadores han pasado la noche aquΓ­, pero solo fuera de temporada.

While collecting pebbles and seashells and taking photographs, we saw the sky begin to cloud over and evening approaching. We noticed our family waving to us in the distance because the boat that would take us back to town was approaching, so we decided to return, our faces tanned, our hair full of salt, but happy.


Mientras recogΓ­amos guijarros y conchas y tomΓ‘bamos fotos, vimos que el cielo comenzaba a nublarse y que se acercaba la noche. Vimos a nuestra familia saludΓ‘ndonos a lo lejos porque se acercaba el barco que nos llevarΓ­a de vuelta al pueblo, asΓ­ que decidimos regresar, con la cara bronceada, el pelo lleno de sal, pero felices.

Una de mis playas favoritas, una sola ve pasΓ© por esa isla en lancha, por un breve paseo mientras acampamos en playa blanca. El parque nacional Mochima nos regala un hermoso paraΓ­so terrenal, me encanta el color de sus aguas cristalinas y la arena muy blanca. Saludos.
