Only 90 km from merida (1.30 hrs) is located in the north-west corner of the yucatan peninsula, there is a small peninsula  with a lagoon that borders the sea of the gulf of mexico and a huge estuary.

There is a huge estuary. It is the habitat of pink flamingos.

There are two enormous ecosystems: the mangrove swamp, which, from small insects, birds, reptiles, even pumas and jaguars make their habitat.

And the lagoon that hosts larvae, shrimp, crustaceans, fish and even lizards. Because  there is  good food, also make it their habitat.

We will take a 45 min to 1 hr covered boat ride in the shallow waters of the lagoon.  We will go to see flamingos, an eye of water and if we are

And with luck and at the whim of nature, we will see several birds and even some lizards.

In winter we can see migratory birds from the north of america, which come to avoid the cold of canada.

To avoid the cold weather in canada and the united states.

At the end of the activity you could go to the beach or enjoy a meal in a local restaurant.
