Sian Ka’An Muyil Lagoon – Float in Crystalline Waters
The Muyil Lagoon archaeological site, located in the northern part of the Sian Ka'an biosphere reserve, served as a point of exchange in ancient Mayan times by connecting the Caribbean Sea with the mainland. Muyil Lagoon is the ideal place to enjoy spectacular landscapes of lagoons and jungle with astonishing Mayan temples such as "El Castillo" which is 17 meters high.
TOUR OVERVIEW - Sian Ka'An Muyil Lagoon
This tour is an excellent option for those who want to experience a relaxing, yet inspiring afternoon, learning about the ecology of the area and about the Mayan civilization.
We will learn about the objectives of the ¨man in the biosphere¨ (MAB) program, the ecology of the jungle, wetlands and the connection that exists between different ecosystems and species of flora and fauna.
From the archaeological zone we will take an interpretive path to know some of the most important trees for the area, some eyes of water (small Cenotes). We will climb a wooden tower to the highest observation point in Sian Ka'an to admire the lush vegetation and freshwater wetlands below.
Upon reaching the Muyil lagoon, we will eat a light vegetarian lunch and then take our boat through two lagoons connected by a canal that has been in use for many centuries.
Xlapak is the name of the building built at the beginning of a river and the beginning of a unique and unforgettable experience where we will float in crystal clear water with our life jacket among mangroves and epiphytic plants such as orchids and bromeliads for around 30 minutes listening to the singing of birds. and the wind that moves the grasslands.
After floating we will return walking along a wooden path to find our boat that will take us back to the mainland.
