The path will take you through five miles of breathtaking scenery featuring nature reserves home to native crocodiles, rainforests boasting 40 foot trees, and ending with the crystal-clear waters of Playa Linda.

Whale watching
From November to April, thousands of whales make their way to Ixtapa Zihuatanejo’s warm waters to give birth. The yearly migration brings both grey and humpback whales to the coast. If you’re lucky, you might even be able to catch a glimpse from the shoreline. For a more up close and personal look at these gentle giants, diving and sailing companies offer whale watching expeditions.
