What to Expect When Spotting Iguanas at the Eco Corner
The Iguana Eco Corner offers an accessible look at island wildlife in a natural environment. Expect an unhurried pace and ample time to observe behaviors like basking, climbing, and foraging.

- Natural backdrops and shaded areas for comfortable viewing.
- Great photo opportunities—soft light and greenery make vivid portraits.
Pro tip: Keep a respectful distance and let wildlife move naturally. A quiet approach yields better sightings and photographs while keeping animals stress-free.
