Nestled along the Caribbean coastline south of Tulum lies Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, a 1.3 million acre wildlife refuge and World Heritage Site filled with magnificent Mayan ruins, a lush tropical jungle, and serene mangrove lagoons.
One of the most fascinating sites is Muyil Ruins, an ancient Mayan port city located on the eastern edge of the reserve. Wandering through the remains of this once vibrant trading hub, you can climb the tallest pyramid for breathtaking views of the surrounding jungle and imagine vibrant Mayan life centuries ago.
But the real jewel of Muyil is the nearby lazy river created by the ingenious Mayans over 1,500 years ago. Flowing through the dense jungle, this snaking waterway was hand-dug to connect Laguna Muyil to the Caribbean Sea.
Gliding down this tranquil canal in a kayak or stand up paddleboard, you'll be enveloped by lush greenery teeming with colorful birds like toucans, parrots, and flamingos. The further inland you paddle, the narrower and more intimate the river becomes. It's an immersive journey into the heart of the Mayan relationship with nature.
Whether you explore the ancient grandeur of Muyil Ruins or drift along the lush lazy river, Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve offers the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and ecological wonder along Mexico's spectacular Riviera Maya.
