All around the village the Celestun Biosphere Reserve extends itself within more or less 591km². It is a known place for birds winter haven, and between them, the flamincos. It is said that Celestun ecosystem is unique because the freshwater of the river is mixed with the seawater. This water contains carotene, which gives it a unique red color. Because of this, flamincos are the most pink in the world.
Some boats leave from a pier on the river to get tourists to the mangroves, swamps and cenotes. You may also see forest petrified by the sea.
In Celestun you will find lots some hotels, restaurants and tacos. It is great to spend a lovely week end on the beach!
