Cancun Tour to Rio Lagartos
Flamingos are not the only amazing birds- see hundreds of bird species! I am looking forward to showing you the amazing wildlife diversity and to sharing with you information about the region's history and traditions. Located along the Gulf of Mexico, Rio Lagartos is a small fishing village and offers the same hospitality as in antiquity when the Mayan name for the town meant "Head of the Kitchen". During that time it was a popular stopping point along the ancient trade route and known as a place for sustenance and a tranquil atmosphere, something you can still find there!

There exists a land where the phoenix rises up from its ashes into a
blazing fire. It is a place on the northern coast of the Yucatan
Peninsula, where the currents of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of
Mexico merge into a turbulent stream of turquoise and green hues
which works its way inland to form the most sacred of estuaries and
lagoons: Río Lagartos. Here, since time immemorial the
Caribbean Flamingo, Phoenicopterus ruber, has found a feeding,
reproduction and nesting sanctuary. An unordinary landscape, the
Biosphere Reserve of Río Lagartos holds a cornucopia of unique
ecosystems, some flourishing during the dry months and others
reaching their splendor in the rainy months of spring and fall.
Here, one can see cacti growing on sandy dunes by the sea, heavenly
palm trees, alabaster mountains of salt near the banks of the river
which contrast beautifully with the peculiar red color of the water,
a lush and verdant jungle with natural fresh water wells surrounded
by bare land, and mangrove forests on the edges of the waterways.
Rio
Lagartos is home to the world's largest pink flamingo nesting
grounds, a sight seen only by boat! Get ready for the breathtaking
sight of vivid, bright pink against the deep blue-green estuary
waters- incredible!
