About Cayo Pescadores
Cayo Pescadores is a boat-access cayo in Morrocoy, usually reached from Tucacas or Chichiriviche. Its reef sits behind a coral barrier, which keeps the water calmer than more exposed stretches and makes it a good choice for relaxed scuba or snorkel outings. The site is known for clear water, shallow reef structure, and fish-rich coral patches. Bring your own supplies, because on-site services are limited.
