“Celestún is a cheap tourist destination,” stated Chay Chay. “You can find rooms starting from $200 [MXN pesos] a day, excellent hotels for $950 [pesos] a night, and even some luxury hotels like “El Xixim”. Food is also cheap because there are 50 peso meals, cocktails between 80 and 120 pesos, as well as seafood at a good price.”

Chay Chay emphasizes that there is a specific attraction of the port, which are the salt ponds. They are not only a must to visit if you want to know the process of sea salt extracting, but also its paths which are perfect for birdwatching.
