Why Sian Ka'an is one of Mexico's most beautiful nature reserves
Sian Ka’an means “Origin of the Sky” in the Maya language and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. The biosphere reserve protects mangroves, lagoons, coral reefs and tropical forests, making it one of the most biodiverse regions in Mexico.
Unlike many other destinations on the Riviera Maya, there are no large hotel complexes or overcrowded beaches here. Instead, you’ll find an almost untouched natural landscape that provides a habitat for dolphins, sea turtles, crocodiles and hundreds of bird species.
This tour is for anyone who wants to experience the Mexican Caribbean in its most authentic form – with respect for nature and in a relaxed atmosphere.
