What you can expect

  • Embark on a relaxing day trip from Merida to the Ría Celestún Biosphere Reserve, where you’ll discover one of Yucatán’s most spectacular natural environments, observe majestic flamingos and other wildlife, and enjoy two hours of free time at the beach to relax and unwind. This experience is always operated in small groups, allowing for a more personal and comfortable experience.

    Begin your adventure with a pick up at your chosen time and location in Merida. Travel through the scenic landscapes of the Yucatan Peninsula towards the coastal town of Celestún.

    Upon arrival, explore the Ría Celestún Biosphere Reserve, a protected wetland famous for its rich biodiversity and large populations of flamingos. During your visit, you’ll have the opportunity to observe these beautiful birds in their natural environment, along with herons, pelicans and many other species that inhabit or migrate through the reserve’s mangroves and wetlands.

    After experiencing the natural beauty of the reserve, continue to the coast for a two hour beach break. Take time to relax on the sandy beach, enjoy the refreshing waters of the Gulf of Mexico, or simply unwind while taking in the peaceful coastal atmosphere.

    You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy authentic Yucatecan cuisine at a local restaurant before beginning the journey back to Merida.
    Enhance your experience with optional add-ons. Savour authentic Yucatecan cuisine at a local restaurant, and/or plunge into the refreshing waters of the beach.
