In the language of the Mayan peoples who once inhabited this region, Sian Ka’an means ‘Origin of the Sky’. Located on the east coast of the Yucatán peninsula, this biosphere reserve contains tropical forests, mangroves, and marshes, as well as a large marine section intersected by a barrier reef.
Sian Ka’an is for many one of the favorite places in the Yucatán Peninsula, where I cherish the most beautiful memories. It’s a completely wild biosphere reserve in the southern part of the state of Quintana Roo.
It is home to hundreds of bird species, crocodiles, dolphins, turtles, and fish.
I recommend visiting Sian Ka’an on a guided tour, as the history of Sian Ka’an and its biodiversity is worth hearing.
In Sian Ka’an, you’ll boat around Bird Island, cross fish banks, and come face to-face with turtles and dolphins!
If you have the opportunity, stop by the village of Punta Allen, the only village in the Sian Ka’an Biosphere, to stroll, relax on the beach, and dine in a small local restaurant.
