Celestún: A natural paradise awaits you in Yucatán
If you’re a nature lover and passionate about photography, you can’t leave Yucatán without visiting this ecological paradise! Aboard a private boat, you’ll venture into a magical world of mangroves, home to 560 animal species. Keep your eyes wide open, you may spot tiger herons, gulls, Canadian ducks, crocodiles, and even spider monkeys if luck is on your side.
Celestún is famous for being one of the main breeding sites of the American flamingo. From December to March, these elegant birds put on an unparalleled show with their low flights and courtship.
We will continue our boat tour to Bird Island to admire its rich birdlife. Then, we’ll venture into a mangrove tunnel that feels straight out of a movie. If the weather allows, you can immerse yourself in its crystal-clear and revitalizing waters to mitigate the heat and renew energy.
