Just before you arrive to Celestun, Yucatan there is a turn off for the Ria Celestun, a protected nature reserve. Inside the park visitors can rent a boat (includes the boat captain) for 1,200 pesos.

by Craig Zabransky on February 26, 2015 in Destination

Crete, Greece’s Big Island Crete is the biggest Greek Island and 5th largest […]
