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.
We will continue to the Celestún village to eat and enjoy the beautiful beach.
