Mexico's first Safari in the Yucatan jungle
The other face of Yucatan
When people think of the Yucatán, most imagine Caribbean beaches and Mayan ruins. However, its tropical jungle is a little-explored treasure that holds natural and cultural secrets. It is home to jaguars, ocelots, howler monkeys, toucans and colorful birds, as well as countless species of medicinal plants used by Mayan communities.
A safari in the Yucatan jungle is not just a tour, it is an immersion in a world where nature and culture are inseparably intertwined.
Jungle safari activities
Guided hikes on trails where local guides teach how to identify footprints and wildlife tracks.
Boat trips through lagoons to observe crocodiles and migratory birds.
Night safaris, when owls, bats, ocelots and ocelots appear and the jungle comes alive with intense sounds.
Tropical birding: Yucatan is a paradise for birdwatchers with endemic species such as the cejiturquesa momoto.
Encounter with Mayan culture
The safari also includes a deep cultural component:
Traditional cuisine: learn how to prepare tortillas by hand, pibes or the ancestral poc chuc.
Sacred cenotes: bodies of crystalline water that were part of rituals and are still sacred spaces for the communities.
Oral narration: Mayan elders sharing legends about the jaguar and balance with nature.
When to go
The period from November to April is the most advisable. The dry weather makes hiking easier and wildlife tends to concentrate around water sources, which increases the chances of sightings.
Why choose a safari in Yucatan?
What sets this safari apart from others is the duality between wildlife and living culture. Here you not only observe animals; you participate in an authentic exchange with the communities, supporting the conservation of the rainforest and local development.
