Just south of Tulum lies the incredibly rich and diverse biosphere reserve, an area where the underground freshwater rivers flow out to meet the Caribbean.Considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its ecological importance, the overlapping mix of ecosystems provides a living and breeding space for a variety of fish, mammal, bird and reptile species, all connected to each other by enchanting waterways.Designated a biosphere reserve, in this case we humans can also avail of the natural resources provided by Sian Ka’an, through eco-tourism and controlled fishing, for example.
We drive approximately 2km inside the biosphere, where we board a small boat to visit Boca Paila and the Caapechen Lagoon – a vital point of convergence for many animals, where we have the chance to spot the resident birdlife, crocodiles, a plethora of fish & even the rare manatee.A short stop on the beach allows you to sink your toes in the sand.This is a beautiful trip through tropical saltwater channels, mangrove islands, flooded sink holes and nesting & breeding gounds for wildlife.
As we approach the end of the afternoon we select an exclusive spot to turn off the motor and float between worlds.Accompanied by a gourmet picnic to watch the colours change and the sun go down, you can add a bottle of wine or some local craft beer to your experience as an optional extra.
