The Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve is one of four in the Yucatan peninsula. This jewel of a place, declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1987, is located on the doorstep of the touristy Riviera Maya, a true escape to nature.
- The Sian Ka’an Reserve is located between Tulum and Felipe Carrillo Puerto. It has 5 accesses being the most popular the Tulum, Boca Paila road. The arc of entry to the Reserve is located about 15 kilometers from Tulum.
- Entry cost: 35 mxn
- How to get there by public transport? From Tulum to Punta Allen there is public transportation, van (van or van) daily at 14 from the taxi station in Tulum. From Punta Allen he returns at 5 in the morning.
- Punta Allen, where there is also a place to camp. I advise you to book in high season like Christmas, and months of January and December.
- Cautions: with the road in good condition it takes between an hour and a half and two hours from Tulum to Punta Allen. In poor condition put 5 and a little more. There is no gas station in Punta Allen.
- From the archaeological zone of Muyil there is a path that runs an interpretive trail through Sian Ka’an and reaches the lagoon. Here you can also go on boat trips.
- From Felipe Carrillo Puerto there is 70 km, direction Vigía Chico or El Playón. From here, boat to Punta Allen, 10 minutes.
