Nestled in the organ pipe cactus adjacent to the bay, the Navopatia field camp is ideally situated for easy access to the mangroves and the coastal thornscrub of this unique area. The camp overlooks a small esterito with its wide array of wading birds. The camp is visited occasionally by local wildlife, and dolphins often call from just off shore. The field station is somewhat primitive: all power comes from solar panels and water has to be trucked in. Participants are housed in small palapas or in wall tents. Additional facilities include a bodega that serves as an office and computer center, a boathouse, a community palapa/dining room, and a kitchen. Numerous kayaks are available. What the camp lacks in luxury, it makes up for in beauty. The sunsets are incredible, the wildlife abundant, and the beaches insolated.
