RESERVA DE LA BIOSFERA SIAN KA'AN - MAYA CANAL AND LAGOONS

Natural site to discover

The Muyil pier is located on the edge of the small lagoon of the same name. Here await the fishing boats, ready to take you to discover the local attractions.

The first of these consists in crossing a small canal to reach the much larger Chunayaxché Lagoon. We cross it and then the boat drops you off at the edge of an artificial canal dug by the Mayans; here we set foot on land and discover the ruins of what was supposed to be an ancient Mayan customs. We put on life jackets and dive into the water to let the current carry us for one or two kilometres. Those who have chosen the shorter excursion option then turn around.

The others continue their journey through canals and mangroves to the very large Capelchen lagoon, where you are taken for a short walk to observe manatees (if you are lucky) and birds, then dock at Boca de Paila, where you have the opportunity to spend some time on the beach before returning as quickly as you arrived.
