The first evening in Boqueron, it quickly became clear that I was NOT going to be able to purchase the things I needed for a beach holiday. August 6th and summer vacation was already over. The town was deserted, the stores and restaurants mostly closed. So we hitched a ride with the friend of the Boqueron travel agent and went to Parqueda in the afternoon. From Parquera, we joined a tour group on a boat to the mangroves and went snorkeling: fan coral, brain coral, parrot fish, angel fish, etc... Then we boated back to the shore for beer and empanadillas (something we had already noticed that locals seem to LOVE). After dinner, we waited until the sun set and the moon, which lucky for us was waning, was coming up. The waning moon meant it was dark - better for swimming in the bioluminescent bay! Amazing! Impossible to photograph, but something really worth experiences. When you move around, the plankton glow and sparkle. We swam for a while before heading back to shore for the trip back to Boqueron. At the beach in Parguera, there was an outdoor Italian movie festival taking place... definately a more happening beach than Boqueron.
