The Biosphere Reserve of Sian Ka’an in Tulum, which means in Mayan vocabulary “heaven’s gift” is a nature marvel in the region where you can experience eco-tourism. Here you can find a lot of Mother Nature’s gifts such as beaches, lagoons, mangrove swamps, cenotes, the world’s second largest coral reef and some of the most astonishing archaeological areas in the Riviera Maya.
This reserve is located about 100 miles from Cancun’s international airport, through the federal highway to Tulum, and it is part of Tulum’s and Felipe Carrillo Puerto’s municipalities. To access these awesome eco-tourism treats in the Sian Ka’an area, you can take a tour from the Sian Ka’an Community Tours, a company that is managed 100% by Mayan local communities and it’s known to offer the best of the experiences while you, as a tourist, support their prosperity and local growth.
To have a better glance of the whole area, most tourists use to take tours to Muyil lagoon, there you can see beautiful and colorful birds flying around; then you can go to the archeological places where you’ll be able to admire their wonderful history. You can also get to go to the mangrove swamps and take a look to the crocodiles taking the sun, and finally you can go to snorkel into the coral reef, where you can find dolphins and turtles in their natural habitat.
