Sian Ka'an Biosphere Ancient Canals Expedition
Booking this tour would be a fantastic opportunity for anyone who loves adventure, nature, and history. You'll have the chance to explore the stunning Sian Ka'an Reserve and follow in the footsteps of the ancient Mayans, who used this route to connect the Caribbean Sea with the Muyil community.
The tour will take you through three breathtaking lagoons and a network of water channels, providing a unique perspective of the reserve's beauty. The Mayan temple of Ixlapak, an astral observatory, will be a highlight of the trip.
But perhaps the most remarkable part of this experience is the chance to connect with nature fully. Floating through the fresh water channels and feeling the cool water on your skin while basking in the warm sun is an experience that words can't describe. It's an opportunity to let go of all your worries and simply be present in the moment.
If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure, the Sian Ka'an Reserve tour is one you won't want to miss.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Chunyaxche, Chunyaxche, Yucatan Peninsula
Just a few minutes from Tulum, its one of the best secrets of this beautiful destination. Come and join us into this adventure where we will cross the same route within the Sian Ka'an Reserve that the ancient Mayans used with their canoes thousands of years ago, that connects the Caribbean Sea with the Muyil community.
During this experience you will be able to meet three main lagoons. The lagoons of Muyil, Chunyaxche and Capelchen all connected by means of water channels, two of them of fresh water and one of brackish water (due to the proximity of the sea), within the reserve in the middle of the canals and lagoons there is a Mayan temple practically in the middle of the reserve known as Ixlapak. This temple was used by the mayans as an astral observatory.
