The charm of Isla Aguada is undeniable. Here we tell you everything you need to plan a getaway to this beautiful Magical Town.
The charm of Isla Aguada is undeniable: In this beautiful island town, fishermen get up early to bring fresh products from the Laguna de Términos to the table. This is how the locals assure that at the moment the restaurant windows open to receive the sun, the first aromas of their kitchen are already present to make the visitors fall in love.
The story goes that the town of Isla Aguada was separated from the mainland by an arm that linked the sea with the Sabancuy River. This division resulted in a valuable refuge for pirates, who took refuge on the island after having committed their robberies to boats. However, in the year 1762, Governor Bernardo Sáenz Montero sent a detachment of armed men to banish the pirates from the island. In addition to retaking the land, these men recovered stolen goods and took some prisoners. It is said that the first settlers of the island were precisely these armed forces that drove away the pirates.
