Huatulco National Park is teeming with wildlife both on land and underwater. Look out for iguanas, armadillos, and coatis alongside birds such as ospreys, white pelicans, storks, and roseate spoonbills. Along the coast, you can spot migrating whales and dolphins, sea turtles, and a variety of fish, corals, and sponges.

With sunny weather year-round, you can visit Huatulco National Park and swim through all four seasons. Visit in the dry season (October-April) for hiking, whale-watching, and turtle nesting, or come during the wet season (May-September) to avoid the crowds, snag lower-price accommodation, and visit the nearby waterfalls.
