Río Lagartos and Las Coloradas: Wildlife Natural Experience

1.Río Lagartos and Las Coloradas: Wildlife Natural Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 88 reviews · 4 hours Our pick

Spend four private hours with a licensed local guide such as Guadalupe, Christian, or Brandon, watching crocodiles, flamingos, and birds around Río Lagartos. The route also includes Las Coloradas, a cenote, fish spa, Mayan clay bath, mangrove areas, and a Gulf beach. The boat fits up to six people.

“Une expérience incroyable. Brandon et Guadalupe sont vraiment super sympas. Tout le long on a eu le droit à des explications sur les différents animaux que nous avons vus, sur l’histoire du Lieu en lui même. Si vous hésitez à choisir, choisissez celle-ci. Choisissez de partir entre 7h et 8h pour une meilleure expérience et d’éviter le monde.”

Puerto Escondido: Oaxaca Coast Wildlife Ecotour

2.Oaxaca Coast Wildlife Ecotour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 82 reviews · 8 hours · from $50Best value

Spend eight hours exploring the Oaxaca coast from Puerto Escondido with an English- or Spanish-speaking guide. See crocodiles, turtles, iguanas, and birds at La Ventanilla, visit Mazunte and Zipolite, then stop for a sea-facing meal and swim at Estacahuite. Edgar has earned special praise for his clear explanations and patient style.

“Gran experiencia. Muy recomendable. Nuestro guia Edgar hizo que fuese un gran día lleno de actividades. Lo que más merece la pena es el tour de la laguna. De verdad vimos de todo. 10/10”
