Sian Ka'an BioPreserve

Sian Ka'an means "where the sky is born" in Mayan – an
apt name for the 1.3 million acres of grass savannas, mangrove
lagoons, white sand flats, and 70 miles of the second largest barrier reef in
the world. Designated a World Heritage Site in 1986 the Sian Ka’an Biosphere
Reserve is home to a variety of rare and spectacular creatures including ocelots, jaguars, manatees, crocodiles and hundreds of species of exotic birds. Within the depths of the Reserve the mark of the ancient Mayans can still be found. Dramatic temples and hidden tollhouses guard aquatic passageways carved through mangrove lagoons.

For the nature oriented, the Sian Ka’an is unquestionably a tropical paradise of superlatives. So whether birding, snorkeling, fishing, wandering miles of empty beach, exploring hidden ruins, or creeping through the jungle in pursuit of an elusive wildcat, the staff at The Palometa Club will gladly tailor an exotic Mayan adventure of a lifetime.
