A Seven Day Stay: Celestún, Sisal, Telchac Puerto, Río Lagartos
Are you looking for a memorable week in Yucatán? Let us craft the ultimate experience for you! Embark on a journey along the Yucatecan Coastline, exploring the hidden gems of Celestún, Sisal, Dzilam de Bravo, Río Lagartos, and the refreshing spots of La Plancha back in Mérida.
Monday
Get your swimsuit ready, as we start the week in Celestún, an ecotourism paradise known for being the refuge of flamingo colonies and a must-stop on your visit to the state. Take a boat ride through the estuary and admire the diversity of species. Refresh yourself with a swim in the freshwater spring and then relax on its beautiful beach.
Tuesday
Today we'll visit Sisal, one of Yucatán’s seven Magical Towns and the only coastal one. Explore the historical buildings of Yucatán's first port and choose between a relaxing day at the beach or an adventure with one of the offered tours, such as snorkeling, fishing, or biking.
Wednesday
An exciting boat ride awaits: if you've ever dreamed of enjoying a meal in the middle of the sea, this is the perfect opportunity! In addition to having a picnic with your favorite people, you can also explore the mangrove in a kayak.
Thursday
If you feel like trying something authentically beachy, it's time to head to Telchac Puerto. Besides its beautiful waters, in this charming town you'll find a wide variety of coconut desserts.
Friday
Dzilam de Bravo will be our destination for this Friday. If the idea of fishing (and savoring your catch), snorkeling, and swimming in a freshwater spring in the middle of the sea intrigues you, then this port is perfect for you.
Saturday
Our last coastal stop will be Río Lagartos. If you're a bird lover, be sure to spend the night so you can catch all the sunrise action. Plus, the mineral clays in its waters are a delight for your skin. And guess what? Your guide has a sweet surprise for you at the end of the tour: a breathtaking beach where you can cool off before heading back to shore.
Sunday
We will close the week on a high note in Mérida: stroll through Parque de la Plancha, Paseo de Montejo, and delight in the restaurants of the Culinary Corridor, such as Gran Lumière and Hacienda Teya, along Calle 60, or Catrín, along Calle 47. Don't miss the Regional Vaquería (traditional folk dance) by the City Hall at Plaza Grande in the evening
