The Celestun Biosphere Reserve is a protected place where various species of the Yucatec coast grow. Here we will find birds such as: pink flamingo, herons, pelicans among others. Also crocodiles and landscapes that blend between the sky and the green of the mangrove. We will take a boat in the reserve that will take us on a tour of 1 hour 20 min. This trip connects you with the essence of water and nature. You will learn more about the fascinating pink flamingo, discover why it finds refuge in the Yucatan and understand the importance of mangroves in protecting the coasts. Everything, as you enter an environment that seems to come out of a dream. We will enter the heart of the mangrove and finally we will walk an islet to know a water eye where the fresh water of the aquifers connect with the salt waters of the ocean.
