Description
Explore the nature and wildlife of the Rio Lagartos Biosphere Reserve on a guided boat tour from the fishing village of Rio Lagartos. Admire the pink flamingos and other bird species, and learn from a professional guide at the Ek Balam archaeological site. Start your adventure with a boat ride from the fishing village of Rio Lagartos. See a lot of birds before reaching the main attraction: the pink flamingos. This ría hosts, besides almost 400 different bird species, the largest Mexican pink flamingo colony. Admire them all year round because here they have the food and the perfect weather to stay. On the way back, try a Mayan bath. It’s an ancient Mayan tradition for skin care. The natural white clay with salt helps to soften and rejuvenate your skin. Visit the Ek Balam archaeological site with a certified professional guide. The main palace is higher than the Kukulcán temple in Chichén Itzá and you still can climb the structures. Its almost intact stucco facade of a Maya mausoleum makes it different to all the other Mayan sites. You’ll also have the possibility to visit the Cenote X’Canche at Ek Balam (entrance not included).Includes
