Sian Ka'an, the largest marine natural
protected area in Mexico, is a United Nations World Heritage site,
designated to be protected for its rich biodiversity and unique Mayan
cultures which have inhabited the peninsula for ages. It is also the
most beautiful natural treasure of the Yucatan peninsula that is
accessible to tourists. Community Tours Sian Ka'an, a local tourism
alliance between four Mayan cooperatives, presents to you the Mayan
Riviera as it once was and as it should be experienced: untouched by
urbanization, undisturbed by mass tourism, and guided by local Mayan
community members who know the reserve best.

"We went with Sian Kaan community tours (a non profit
organisation that puts money back into the conservation of the
biosphere) and did the Punta Allen and Muyil Forest and float tours.
The trips were excellent, with the guides having a real passion for the
conservation of the biosphere. Their English was good and were able to
answer all questions. We saw dolphins, turtles, snorkelled among corel
reefs, floated down Mayan canals, sailed through Mangrove forests and
swam in cenotes. I thoroughly recommend this trip with them. I took
over 300 pictures, most being post card quality. It was a very
memorable day out. Well worth it."
