WE ARE LOCATED IN SIAN KA ́AN BIOSPHERE NATURAL RESERVE, DECLARED A WORLD HERITAGE SITE IN 1987 BY UNESCO, CELEBRATING MORE THAN 30 YEARS OF HAVING BEEN DECLARED A PROTECTED NATURAL AREA BY THE TULUM SOUTH ZONE OF THE BEACH CONNECTION WITH PUNTA ALLEN FISHING TOWN, Q. ROO. MEXICO.

IN ADDITION TO BEING ONE OF THE AREAS WITH UNIQUE SCENIC BEAUTY, IT IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO THE REGION AND THE WORLD FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES IT PROVIDES, SUCH AS THE CARBON RESERVOIRS FOUND IN THE MANGROVES.

IT IS ONE OF THE SUCCESS STORIES IN THE CONSERVATION OF ITS ECOSYSTEMS. THANKS TO THE JOINT WORK BETWEEN THE THREE LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS, INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND CIVIL SOCIETY, IT HAS BEEN POSSIBLE TO CONSERVE THE NINE ECOSYSTEMS THAT EXIST IN THE RESERVE SUCH AS JUNGLE, WETLANDS, MANGROVES AND CORAL REEFS, IN ADDITION TO PROMOTING PROJECTS WITH THE COMMUNITIES THAT INHABIT THEM.

HOME OF THE JAGUAR, TAPIR, MANATEE AND PECCARY, SIAN KA’AN HAS A SYSTEM OF UNDERGROUND FRESHWATER RIVERS THAT
INTERCONNECT THE CENOTES AND THE PETENES, UNIQUE IN THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AND THE WORLD, UNDOUBTEDLY THE MOST IMPORTANT NATURAL CAPITAL OF THE RESERVE. SIAN KA’AN CONTAINS NINE ECOSYSTEMS, THREE AQUATIC HABITATS, 120 KILOMETERS OF THE MESO AMERICAN REEF SYSTEM, WHICH INCLUDES FOUR COUNTRIES: HONDURAS, GUATEMALA, BELIZE AND MÉXICO.
