Birdwatching in Rio Lagartos

We'll meet at the indicated time at the Río Lagartos boardwalk, where we'll board a boat and navigate through the Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve. This protected area is known for its ornithological richness and is an environmental treasure of the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. During the trip, we'll see the famous flamingos of Rio Lagartos and learn about their unique pinkish color. While sailing, we'll also observe other native birds such as pelicans, herons, and large American eagles, and may spot crocodiles in the mangroves. Finally, we'll head to the beach of Río Lagartos to see its emerald-green waters. After a 1.5-hour trip, we'll conclude the tour back at the departure pier.
