This tiny fishing village lies at the gateway to one of Mexico's most beautiful nature reserves. Amongst the things you can seen there are mangroves, pink flamingoes, pelicans and barracuda: in short, a very impressive range of biodiversity.
A small fishing village in the north of Yucatan which is the entry point to the amazing Rio Lagartos national park.
My suggestion
Bird lovers who are going to the peninsula during a trip to Mexico should definitely go there - there are more than 200 species of birds!

During the Río Lagartos Estuary tour our guide invited us to take a mud bath. Afterwards, to clean ourselves up again, we went to wash in an extremely saline pool where you can literally float in the water: an extraordinary experience.
Keen to discover the northern region of Mexico? The Nuevo León, as well as Coahuila are two regions housing cities to see, when going on a visit to the north of Mexico. In fact, Monterrey and Saltillo have several attractions.
The north and south are two different worlds, not only in terms of their landscape but also their economic structures. On this one strip of land fierce industrialization contrasts with a laid back tourist lifestyle.
I guarantee that hopping on the El Chepe train will be a unique adventure in the north-west of Mexico. As the kilometres go by, incredible landscapes will pass before your eyes, don't miss the train!
