A White Ibis, a Roseate Spoonbill, a Jabiru, a Pink Flamingo or one of the 15 species of Heron, Egrets and Bittern.
The Yucatan Peninsula is home of 546 species of birds with 11 endemic species. Not only this but many of the same reserves you will visit are also home to the Jaguar, Pumas, Ocelots, Margays, Spiders, Howler Monkeys, Tapirs, White lipped and collared Peccaries, Manatees, brocket and White Tailed Deer, Crocodiles, Loggerhead, Hawkbill and leatherback Turtles.
Not only will this journey take you into the natural world of the Yucatan but we will also take you back in time, to the world of the Mayans. As we include visits to some of the spectacular ruins that are located throughout the region.
Ruins that have been carefully restored with the tireless and on going efforts of the archaeologists, who have created long lost and forgotten, majestic cities of pyramids and temples. Retaining back this splendor from the jungle that for centuries devoured them.
The spine tingling atmospheres of Chichen Itza and Uxmal can recreate to the imaginative mind a glimpse back into the past of the once great civilization of the Mayan Empire.
On our journey to those wonderful ruins we still pass through the back country and visit the many Mayan villages that still thrive with life and continue the traditional practices. So that we can see the reality of this civilization that is still around and thriving to this day. You will see the Mayan ladies weaving their traditional embroidered pristine white dresses. And you may wish to stop and admire or purchase their handicrafts.
To add to this we will include side trips to visit and swim in the wonderful pristine waters of the many cenotes within the area. A swim in a cenote, a natural underground pool that heals, refresh and gives you a memorable experience of the world beneath our feet!
We offer options of customized tours for your groups or we provide a set itinerary and of course no trip like this would be complete without a dip in the Caribbean sea, so expect a snorkeling trip to an idyllic area that offers the best of the second largest coral reef in the world.
