<<< Back To Mérida Overview

In the far northeast of the state, 100 km outside Merida along Highway 261 stands the Celestún Biosphere Reserve, regarded as one of the most important wetlands in the peninsula, and a sanctuary for species such as sea turtles, crocodiles, monkeys, jaguars, white-tailed deer and several migratory birds that nest and breed there, such as the elegant pink flamingo. The reserve has an area of over 80,000 ha, two types of climate and vegetation consisting mainly of mangrove swamps and low forest. Boats are available for touring and photographing the area.

Celestún
There is a mangrove swamp some 96 west of Merida that is inhabited by birds like the albatross, storks, pelicans and the beautiful, pink-feathered flamingo. Watching a large group of these birds take of from the ground is a marvelous natural spectacle for the silent observer.
