It is also a picturesque fishing village with colorfully painted wooden and cement homes. Protected by the SEMARNAP to preserve the diverse flora and fauna of the area, and registered in 1986 by the United Nations as an area of important international wetlands.</font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Arial" size="3">To see the flamingos, you must hire a boat that takes you on a fascinating two and a half-hour boat ride through mangrove forests and swamps. On the way, you will encounter jumping fish, crocodiles and a variety of rare birds. It s an amazing trip, where you will see hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of orange-red flamingos. The tour ends at a freshwater cenote, where you can take a dip in the cool water, if you so desire. You will find clean, comfortable lodgings and colorful cabanas in Ría Lagartos.</font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Arial" size="3">This is a fantastic place for birdwatchers and those who want to see an unusual area that is off the beaten track. There are different boat trips you can take that will allow you to explore the Ría, the nesting areas, or the Chiquila Beach.</font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="eng""><b> <font size="4" face="Georgia" color="#4F8955">For prices, reservations, availability and bookings, please contact us at:</font><font face="Times New Roman" size="4"> </font></b> <font face="Times New Roman" size="4"> <a style="text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; text-line-through: none" href="mailto:visit@luxuriousmexico.com"> <font size="4" color="#0000FF">visit@luxuriousmexico.com</font></a></font><font color="#566A6B" size="4"><b> </b></font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <a href="../../Products.html"> <img border="0" src="../../pics/Back%20to%20Menu.jpg" width="200" height="40" align="right"></a></p></td> <td width="44" rowspan="3">&nbsp;</td> <td width="44" rowspan="3" bgcolor="#95C9D6">&nbsp;</td> <td width="450" align="center" bgcolor="#95C9D6" height="42">&nbsp;</td> <td width="42" rowspan="3" bgcolor="#95C9D6">&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="450" align="center" bgcolor="#95C9D6" height="42"> <img border="0" src="../../PicsYucatan/Yucatan,%20Ria%20Lagartos,%20Natural%20Biosphere,%20House%20-%20Photo%20by%20Sectur%20Yucatan.gif" width="450" height="297" alt="Yucatan, Ria Lagartos, Natural Biosphere, House - Photo by Sectur Yucatan"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="450" align="center" bgcolor="#95C9D6" height="42"> <font size="2" color="#566A6B"><b>House in Ría Lagartos</b></font></td> </tr> </table> </td> <tr> <td width="100%" colspan="2" align="left"> <img src="../../clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="22" border="0"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" colspan="2" align="left" background="../../gr_bar.gif"> <img src="../../gr_payoff.jpg" alt="" width="502" height="47" border="0"></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> <!-- Start of StatCounter Code --> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> var sc_project=886285; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_partition=7; var sc_security="178f6619"; </script> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://www.statcounter.com/counter/frames.js"></script><noscript><a href="http://www.statcounter.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://c8.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=886285&amp;java=0&amp;security=178f6619&amp;invisible=1" alt="free webpage hit counter" border="0"></a> </noscript> <!-- End of StatCounter Code -->
