About this experience
Discover a Caribbean Jewel on Sian Kaan! The most beautiful natural reserve of Mexico!
Sian Ka'an is an extensive world of flat and nund lands, composed of rainforests and 17 different species of vegetation with more than 500 species of plants, more than 350 birds and the presence of mammals in extreme danger of extinction. Its name Maya means "Place where heaven is born" and so it seems to us when we arrive.
Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. Ancient territory of Maya, pirates and meeting place with the first Europeans; it is one of the most beautiful natural environments on the central coast of Quintana Roo. The reserve is almost entirely made up of well-preserved land, with minimal human population, difficult to access and that has been kept out of mass development plans.
Sian Ka'an is hopeful, as it is one of the last well-preserved shrines, as evidenced by its enormous diversity of wild life in front of the beautiful Mexican Caribbean.
