Overview
The road to this small fishing community 28km northeast of Saman谩 ends at the beach. So does everything else, metaphorically speaking. One of the great pleasures of a stay here is losing all perspective on the world beyond 鈥 even the beautiful and isolated outlying beaches seem far away. By all means succumb to the temptation to do nothing more than lie around your bungalow or while the day away at a restaurant. But 鈥 if you summon the will to resist 鈥 Las Galeras offers a variety of land- and water-based activities.
