Visit Sian Ka'an in the Riviera Maya


Mexico It is an authentic natural paradise with a lot of impressive places that you can visit, especially all those that make up the Riviera Maya. One of these places is Sian Ka’an, a biosphere reserve that in 1987 was declared a World Heritage Site, so it becomes one of the mandatory Mexican destinations.

In the first place it is clear that you should visit Chichen Itza, but if you have time I totally recommend that you take an excursion to Sian Ka’an because few places you can see in your life of such beauty. I leave you here information about Sian Ka’an so you can decide if you are worth going to, although I think so. Take note:

- It is the largest protected area in the entire Mexican Caribbean and you have more than 100 species of mammals and more than 300 birds, so there you will be able to observe hundreds of animals, many of them not very common and that you will only be able to see in those areas. Two species of turtles that are in danger of extinction nest here.

- The excursion to Sian Ka’an It is done in 4 × 4 from before arriving at the reserve, and it is essential that at least one of the people who goes on the tour has a driving license.


- When you arrive at the reserve they change the SUV for a boat and at sea you can meet turtles and dolphins, in addition to being a most relaxing trip when you reach the mangroves as you will take a leisurely walk until you reach an area where the waters are very calm and you can take a bath.

- After that bath you will reach a Coral barrier It is a fantastic place to dive as it is one of the largest reef complexes in the entire Caribbean.

- Finally, we recommend that you follow the classic security measures for this type of place, such as carrying a lot of Solar protection and a couple of very cold bottles of water so as not to get dehydrated, as it is very hot at any time of the year.
