From a safe distance, you will be able to appreciate the beauty of these unique birds in an unforgettable natural spectacle. (The best season to see flamingos in Celestún is from November to March). After this experience, you will enjoy the traditional and famous “Mayan Bath,” a skin treatment with exfoliating clay that will leave you feeling cleaner and rejuvenated. To end on a high note, we will return to the beach of Río Lagartos, where you can rinse off the clay and relax in the calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
