Sian Ka'an Biosphere

Highlights / General details

Sian Ka'an, a Mayan phrase for "Where The Sky Is Born", is a biosphere reserve in Tulum close to Riviera Maya and Cancun, and in 1987 it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is a place of pristine natural beauty where you will find mangroves, birds, sea creatures and mammals, enjoying Mexican nature in one day. Visit the bird island and snorkel in part of the second largest coral reef in the world. After you snorkel we will enjoy lunch overlooking the ocean.

In Sian Ka’an there are 23 known archeological sites (with relics dating up to 2,300 years old), 103 known mammal species and 336 known bird species. It is also a nesting ground for many species of wading birds.

This is one for your “bucket list” and one of the most beautiful places to tour while in Riviera Maya!
