CELESTUN
A port full of mystery, where some of the most exotic species
of Yucatan exist side by side. Pink flamingos; give a spectacular
show as they fly just overhead. The estuary is their natural breeding
ground after long flights along the eastern coast. Visitors can
also beat the heat by taking a dip in the sweet, fresh-water coming
up from the “ojos de agua,” literally eyes of water,
hidden among the natural tunnels of the estuary formed among the
mangroves. These can be reached by boats driven by the locals,
whose trips are invariably embellished by stories as interwoven
as their fishing nest. Nothing surpasses the trip down the estuary
to its spectacular rendezvous with the sea, but not before paying
a visit to the beach of unequalled beauty and an exquisite variety
of fresh fish and shellfish are the perfect excuse for spending
another day in Celestun.
