Although Rio Lagartos is a pretty little fishing village in itself, the main reason to come here is to visit the huge biosphere reserve. This reserve is home to thousands of pink flamingoes as well as many other species of birds. It’s a lovely place to visit, though not many tourists come here as it’s quite isolated. It is slowly becoming more popular though, with a few hotels popping up here and there.

Getting there
You can drive here from Valladolid or you can travel by boat from Cancún.
