Is it safe to swim in La Moskitia?
Yes! It is said that kids in La Moskitia learn to swim before they learn to walk. Although you can often see as many as 20-30 caiman and crocodiles during a nighttime spotting tour, there has never been a reported attack of these beautiful reptiles on a human being in La Moskitia. They are nocturnal animals that won’t bother you during the day, they don’t share the aggressive tendencies of some of their brethren around the world, and they don’t tend to grow that large in La Moskitia. As far as the ocean goes, we recommend that you simply swim in water no deeper than where you can touch bottom – mainly because the nearest lifeguard on duty is about 300 miles away!
