VIVE UNA EXPERIENCIA UNICA


Take a boat tour to watch thousands of flamingos and other birds. Swim in the water spring inside the mangroves. Visit the ruins of an old hacienda. Relax and have lunch on a beautiful beach.


Celestun



We will leave the city of Mérida for the Ria Celestun Biosphere Reserve, a multicolored paradise just 95 km away, west of the state capital. Upon arriving at the fishing community of Celestun, we will board a boat to take a tour of the estuary. The Ria Celestun Reserve, with an area of 60,000 ha, is the favorite place for thousands of flamingos to feed and rest.
Inside the mangrove, we will visit an area with dead trees, known as the "petrified forest", and a fresh water spring where we can swim and refresh.
We will continue to the town of Real de Salinas in Campeche, where we will visit the ruins of the old salt-producing hacienda.
We will return to Celestún beach, in Yucatán, to eat and enjoy the beautiful beach.
