The state’s nature and wildlife is at its peak because of the heavy rains. Walk around iconic Hacienda Misné to enjoy lush gardens and endemic birds during this time.

If you want to tour Paseo de Montejo in a different way, don’t miss the Biciruta every Sunday from 8 am to 12 pm. We recommend going early to enjoy the cooler weather. Afterwards, have breakfast at one of the nearby restaurants.
