Rosario Islands Natural Park
"The Rosario Islands Natural Park offers private facilities where all can enjoy the natural beauty and nature. We highly recommend at least one nights stay on the Islands. Day trips fun, but you will miss out on the sunsets, and the "big sky"nights with star filled skys that are special over the islands. You can select from some of the great islands hotels right here on this web site."
