Celestun Happiness - Jair was an amazing tour guide. His passion and excitement was contagious. He was full of facts about all the different animals and sites we were seeing. We were fortunate enough to see hundreds of flamingoes on their migration. The lunch that was provided was delicious. It was a wonderful time and I would recommend it to anyone.

Spectacular - Celestun is a small town, but it is a wonderful, very quiet place and spectacular to see the fauna, especially the flamingos. The treatment of the guides is always friendly and good. Recommended and not to be missed if you are in Mérida.

🦩 Flamingos - A wonderful experience, you get to know the mangrove, you see crocodiles, herons, boas, but the jewel in the crown are the flamingos. These beautiful birds arrive in December and stay until March in this region. A beautiful spectacle. In the end you can feed the raccoon colony.
A highly recommended experience
