HOLBOX, A PARADISE FOR BIRDWATCHERS

The beautiful island of Holbox is home to hundreds of species of birds that inhabit the island and surrounding areas, as well as other migratory birds which in their long trips, spend some time enjoying the splendid areas of jungle, mangrove and lagoons in Holbox. There are some companies that organize tours to precisely enjoy the natural spectacle offered by these wonderful winged and colorful creatures.

 In season, the pink flamingos come to nest and have their young in the whole area of the northern of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, from Holbox to Rio Lagartos and Celestun, offering amazing scenes with the sky painted in pink. Flamingoes obtain this color due to the small crustaceans which they feed, who inhabit in low-lying lagoon areas. You can also see seagulls, herons, frigates, cormorants and many other species on the banks of mangroves and natural gardens surrounding the islands.

 Experts in the study of birds have visited for years these lands to attest and document the habits of these awestruck flying species, which are undoubtedly one of the great attractions of our wonderful island of Holbox.
