Rio Lagartos National park is in Mexico, in the state of Yucatan and it's famous in the world for the important biodiversity.

Along the river, which ends in Mexico gulf, you can visit this important park just by a boat trip. Mangrove forests and the mouth of the river are the ideal environment for pink flamingos, black eagle, pelicans, herons, cocodriles and many others animals.UNESCO world heritage site since 1979, it was protected to safeguard species which live here. Usually a boat trip is 2 hours long and you can decide if you want to save some money akiing to others travelers to join you. In this way you can divide the price of boat (the cost is for a boat not for any person).

If you are more, you pay less...The boat can carry up to six passengers.

The captain of the boat often speaks only spanish not english, but he will try to explain what he wants to say. This trip is very interesting because it's possible to see many different species, maybe not so close, but in the field of your telelenses or binoculars. Rio Lagartos national parks counts about 500 animal species: 378 of birds, 95 of amphibians, 71 of fishes and 58 of mammals...a real heaven for Nature lovers.
