Continue through the jungle toward the UNESCO-protected Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, where turquoise lagoons and ancient Maya canals reveal the connection between Muyil and this remarkable natural landscape.

Boat Through Sian Ka'an & Float the Muyil Lazy River

Board a small boat and cruise across the lagoons of Sian Ka’an before entering the ancient Maya canals hidden among the mangroves. Along the way, discover the waterways that once connected Muyil with important trade routes through the region.

Then, step into the clear water and let the gentle current carry you through the famous Muyil Lazy River, surrounded by mangroves and the peaceful sounds of the reserve. Complete your experience with a traditional Yucatecan lunch at a local restaurant.
