Reserva de la Biosfera Ría Celestún

The Biosphere Reserve of Celestun is in a privileged position to be habitat of many birds and fish. The best of the visit is to spot the colony of flamingos migrating here from March to September to feed on shrimp larvae. It is known that the flamingos have a pink plumage because they eat the shrimp larvae. You can book a boat excursion on the river at the entrance of Celestun or on the beach. If you go in the morning, the tour is cheaper because it is easy to find people you can share the boat with. We went in the afternoon and at that time there were no other people and we had to pay 700 pesos for a tour of about an hour.
