## Overview

After picking you up at your hotel, we will travel to the Sian Kaan Reserve and we will enter the park in the most comfortable way, with a very short time of bumps and taking the boat 7 minutes from the entrance. Our certified guides will explain everything related to the local flora and fauna. If time permits, we will snorkel in the second longest barrier reef in the world where we will be able to appreciate a diversity of corals and fish. We will eat in the fishing village at Punta.
