Why go

The sculptures change as marine organisms colonise their surfaces, so the visit combines looking at artwork with observing the development of habitat. The Silent Evolution’s life-size figures give that relationship a strong visual focus. Manchones is a specific offshore gallery, making the selected tour route essential to seeing the works that interest you.

What to look for

  • The group of life-size figures called The Silent Evolution
  • Sculptures becoming habitat for marine organisms

Useful to know

  • Book a tour that explicitly visits Manchones; Punta Nizuc is a different gallery.
  • Confirm the activity, departure pier and required swimming or diving experience with the operator.
