CONTOY DAY TOUR AND VISIT TO THE RESERVE
Enjoy the natural wonders of the pristine Contoy Island, considered the most important nesting place for sea birds in all of the Mexican Caribbean.
The island is very small, it is only 5 miles long and in places very narrow. The island is a sanctuary for more than 152 species of tropical seabirds such as Frigates, Brown Pelicans, Sea Swallows, and Cormorants among others.
Many other migratory species come to this Yucatan island to spend their winter months in the sanctuary of Contoy. 14 species of reptiles also share the island with the many sea birds and roam the beaches and jungle.
