• 1 Parque Nacional Cayo Saetia. Cayo Saetia is an island that was formed artificially when the Entrecascos peninsula was cut for a channel that's about 100m wide and unites the bays of Levisa and Cabonico. Cayo Saetia conserves its wild environment in an almost virgin state (including beaches and a peaceful lagoon) that offers the unique opportunity to carry out safaris among the forest under a conception of Natural Park.
