Hidden among the Caribbean coast is one of the most spectacular "glowing" bays in the world. The phenomenon that makes the water glow is bioluminescence and is caused by dinoflagellates - a type of algae that has found ideal conditions for growth there. Each gallon of water contains about 720,000 of these single-cell organisms, which glow with a blue-green glow when they are agitated. A night swim in the waters of this bay brings magical impressions and unforgettable experiences, so it is worth hurrying, because the phenomenon may disappear, due to the tourist development of the region and the disruption of the conditions for the development of these microorganisms.
