SianKaan Tulum

The beaches of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere are a continuation of Tulum’s beaches, extending south to Punta Allen. Raw and natural, the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve is a 1.3 million acre wilderness area with miles of remote uninhabited beaches. Some are placid and protected while others are exposed and turbulent. All are spectacular in their own way. The coastal road south of the Tulum ruins (Known as the Boca Paila road) is the primary access, leading to the stone archway some 6 miles (10km) south of the ruins. This is also the road that leads to Punta Allen with the Caribbean on one side and an expansive mangrove waterway on the other. There are virtually no services there so bring along what you need for the day like water, snacks, hat and sunglasses. It is always good advice to not take anything of value that you won't need when visiting any remote area on the coastline. There is a check point at the arch where you must stop and register. After your visit, be sure and take your trash with you when you leave.

Most people who come to the Riviera Maya have no idea that just south of the town of Tulum, within the confines of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, there are two large absolutely pristine lakes that can be toured by boat. Enjoy the boardwalk-nature trail through a lush marshland that ends up at the edge of the beautiful Laguna Muyil.

It is thought that the Maya originally built Muyil because it was an important link in their maritime trade route up and down the coast of Quintana Roo. Artifacts have been found here from as far away as Guatemala and Honduras, linking the southern tribes of the Maya to the Maya of the Yucatan Peninsula. Where waterways provided an easier route for the transit of goods the Maya most certainly used them. Along the coast of Quintana Roo a well established trade route led from the sea to Muyil via canals and large lakes. The Maya hand excavated the canals to link Boca Paila [the sea entrance] to Laguna Chunyaxche and Laguna Muyil, where the ruins are located. Laguna Campechen is also linked creating a vast inland waterway of narrow canals and big lakes. Zipping across these lakes on a beautiful day and then winding your way through these ancient canals surrounded by green marshlands is a totally different experience than the typical tourist trek to "nature parks" and major ruins sites. Out on the water you get a privileged view of virtually un-touched areas where few have gone before. All day excursions can be made which go through the canals, out to Boca Paila and the marshy bays where large rookeries of birds thrive. For extended tours like this you need plenty of drinking water, protection from the sun, some swim wear, bug repellant and a cooler with beverages and snacks. Of course a camera with zoom and binoculars to spot birds will make the trip more memorable.
