Su origen se debe a los movimientos tect\u00f3nicos que dieron lugar a la formaci\u00f3n de este abismo marino, creando un conjunto de islas de gran valor geol\u00f3gico y paisaj\u00edstico.<\/p>\n\n<p>The terrain is similar to that of Guayabo, featuring a landscape that combines rocky surfaces, patches of grass, and low-growing vegetation. The island is home to a low-lying forest dominated by species such as the gu\u00edsaro shrub, guanacaste, higuer\u00f3n, and manteco.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"24592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-4-1024x640.png\" alt=\"Isla P&#xE1;jaros: a natural sanctuary in the Gulf of Nicoya\" class=\"wp-image-24592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-4-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-4-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-4-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-4.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"679\" data-id=\"24591\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3.png\" alt=\"Isla P&#xE1;jaros: a natural sanctuary in the Gulf of Nicoya\" class=\"wp-image-24591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3.png 950w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-768x549.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"24590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2-1024x683.png\" alt=\"Isla P&#xE1;jaros: a natural sanctuary in the Gulf of Nicoya\" class=\"wp-image-24590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2-334x222.png 334w, https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A privileged climate<\/h5>\n\n<p>The climate is warm and sunny for most of the year.
