Designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, it is Mexico’s largest wetlandnature reserve.Sian Ka’an marks the end of the Mayan Riviera just south of Tulum. Its endless stretches of untouchedmangroves, jungle, lakes, lagoons and deserted Caribbean beaches are home to an extraordinary array ofbirds and wildlife in an ecologically protected environment. Sian Ka’an is home to many exotic creatures,including 103 known mammal species (such as jaguars, tapirs, manatees, ocelots, crocodiles) and336 known bird species (pelicans, falcons, vultures, cormorants, storks, and hundreds of exotic birds),amphibians and reptiles.There are very few inhabited spots along the coast, and development is tightly regulated, which gives this50-km stretch of Caribbean Sea coastline a feeling of remote tranquility and relative isolation. Theatmosphere is in stark contrast to the rest of the Mexican Riviera further north – it is the anti-Cancun. Thewild road from Tulum through Boca Paila to Punta Allen at land’s end is one for the adventurous andboasts fabulous views of sea, sky, sand and jungle. Sian Ka’an is truly deserving of its Mayan name,meaning ‘where the Sky is born’.Sian Ka’an is also an ideal place from which to explore the Meso-American Reef, the largest coral reefsystem in the Western Hemisphere (and second-largest in the world after Australia’s Great Barrier Reef).It extends over 450 miles from the northern coastal waters of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, along thecoasts of Belize and Guatemala, down to the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras. The Meso-AmericanReef was recently identified as one of the Top 10 coral reef ‘Biodiversity Hotspots’ in the world.It contains some of the most highly-developed coral formations in the world (more than 65 species of stonycoral), supporting an amazing diversity of marine life. More than 500 species of fish have been recordedalong the reef, many of which support the livelihoods of local fishermen residing along the Caribbean coast.It is not uncommon to see dolphins while snorkeling along the reef and sea turtles lolling on the beaches.The Sian Ka’an, and the Punta Allen area in particular, are world-class sites for saltwater flats and flyfishing, and attract light-tackle anglers from around the globe year-round.Not simply for serious birdwatchers and fishermen, the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve has much to offeranyone with an appreciation for, and a love of unspoiled nature.Sol Caribe can arrange a wide variety of tours for guests, whatever their interests – bird watching, wildlife,snorkeling, kayaking, fly fishing, Mayan ruins. One-day tours are run by local non-profit organizations andhighly-qualified guides, and offer a glimpse into the intricate and dramatic interplay of nature and history ina unique ecological environment.Snorkeling trips out to the Meso-American Reef, the largest coral reef eco-system in the WesternHemisphere.Boat trips around the lagoon to mangroves and islands full of nesting birds (pelicans, ibis, heron, egretsand roseate spoonbills are commonly sighted, as is the occasional crocodile).Trips to the Muyil ruins, a Mayan archaeological site within the Sian Ka’an surrounded by jungle, followedby floating in life-jackets through ancient canals.Lagoon and sea kayakingWorld-class saltwater fly fishing in the Bahia de la Ascension (Ascension Bay) and Boca Paila lagoon:bonefish, snook, tarpon and permit.Deep-sea fishing for marlin, sailfish, mahi-mahi, grouper and barracudaSol Caribe supports the initiatives of the Meso-American Reef Fund (MAR Fund), a conservation trustproject of the World Wildlife Federation which promotes and encourages sustainable tourism within theMeso-American Barrier Reef System.Tours:Ecotour classic: visit the lagoon to the south, the bird island and the beautiful coral reef by boat, the guidewill tell you everything about the birds in the Reserve, he will try to find turtles, crocodiles, starfish anddolphins, he will show you the different types of mangroves. Snorkel and explore the coral reef during yourtour, enjoy the magic of Sian Ka’an.3 hoursUS$ 250 per boat (6 pers. max.)Robinson all-day tour: visit the lagoon to the south, the bird island and the beautiful coral reef by boat, theguide will tell you everything about the birds in the Reserve, he will try to find turtles, crocodiles, starfishand dolphins, he will show you the different types of mangroves.

Check out paradise !Includes lunch. 7-8 hoursUS$ 450 per boat (6 pers. max.)Muyil Ruins: Journey back in time on the ancient Sian Ka'an waterway. This not-to-be-missed boat tourfollows the Sian Ka’an canal, built by the native Mayans more than 1,000 years ago. During the course ofthe tour, you’ll discover the exquisite turquoise Chunyaxche lagoon, as well as the ancient Xlahpak temple– an incredible Mayan ruin known locally as “The Watch of the Lake. When getting to Muyil you will hikeinside the jungle to reach the impressive ruin of Muyil where you can climb the 17 m high “El Castillo” andenjoy the breathtaking views. Learn about trees, plants and the history of this ancient ruin. Includes lunch.8 hoursUS$ 450 per boat (6 pers. max.)Chac Mool all-day tour: visit the lagoon to the south, the bird island and find turtles, crocodiles, starfishand dolphins. You will have to navigate the labyrinth of mangrove passageways to reach the Santa Rosapeninsula.Chac Mool is a small but interesting archaeological site, partially because of its remoteness, but alsobecause it has some similarities to Chichen Itza and Tulum. Chichen Itza, because there have beenseveral Chac Mool statues found there. You will find the namesake for the site, the reclining Chac Moolwhich represents one of the most powerful deities of the ancient Maya. Chac was the God of rain andthunder, and his color was red. It's interesting that one of the Chac Mool's hands was red, apparently aremnant from its creators.

At the first crossroads in Tulum, turn left towards Tulum Playa (Beach) and take this beach road allthe way down to Sol Caribe (another 35 kms). After Tulum Beach, you will enter the Sian Ka’an BiosphereReserve through the arch at its northern entrance. It is impossible to get lost because there is only one roadheading south through the Reserve – and you’re on it!Most guidebooks say that the road from Tulum to Punta Allen is terrible. Is this true and what kind of car do Ineed for it?It is true that the road used to be in terrible shape, particularly after storms. In the last year or so, however,it has been extensively resurfaced and there are constant and ongoing improvements being made to it. Youcan now get to Punta Allen from Tulum in around two hours and pretty much any car will do. In bad weatherthough, a Jeep or 4-wheel drive will always come in handy. The closest gas station is in Tulum, so rememberto refuel before entering the Sian Ka’an. If you do run out of gas, however, usually somebody in Punta Allen isalways willing to sell you some.Public transportation : There is a minivan from Tulum to Punta Allen at 2 pm daily leaving from the main taxistation in Tulum. The price is $ 250 Pesos per person and way. The van leaves Punta Allen at 6 am headingback to Tulum.Private Airport transfer: We can arrange a private airport transfer for US$ 250 per way (for 1- 2 person, US$ 30more for every additional person.)At the request of many of our long-time guests, we have now installed wi-fi and it is available in the receptionarea. Cellphone reception is still not available, however. We have a landline at Sol Caribe, which isavailable to guests in emergencies.Sol Caribe serves breakfast (7am to 10am), lunch (12pm to 3 pm) and dinner (6pm to 9pm), our restaurant is also open for guests not staying at the resort. The bar is a lively place and open until 10pm.For guests who would like to sample the local cuisine, there are a number of restaurants in Punta Allen, a laidback fishing village five miles down the road.There is plenty to do around Punta Allen and inside the Sian Ka’an! You can go sea kayaking or lagoonkayaking, or even just snorkeling, right from our beach. We have kayaks and equipment available for our guests.... more info >>

Designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, it is Mexico’s largest wetlandnature reserve.Sian Ka’an marks the end of the Mayan Riviera just south of Tulum. Its endless stretches of untouchedmangroves, jungle, lakes, lagoons and deserted Caribbean beaches are home to an extraordinary array ofbirds and wildlife in an ecologically protected environment. Sian Ka’an is home to many exotic creatures,including 103 known mammal species (such as jaguars, tapirs, manatees, ocelots, crocodiles) and336 known bird species (pelicans, falcons, vultures, cormorants, storks, and hundreds of exotic birds),amphibians and reptiles.There are very few inhabited spots along the coast, and development is tightly regulated, which gives this50-km stretch of Caribbean Sea coastline a feeling of remote tranquility and relative isolation. Theatmosphere is in stark contrast to the rest of the Mexican Riviera further north – it is the anti-Cancun. Thewild road from Tulum through Boca Paila to Punta Allen at land’s end is one for the adventurous andboasts fabulous views of sea, sky, sand and jungle. Sian Ka’an is truly deserving of its Mayan name,meaning ‘where the Sky is born’.Sian Ka’an is also an ideal place from which to explore the Meso-American Reef, the largest coral reefsystem in the Western Hemisphere (and second-largest in the world after Australia’s Great Barrier Reef).It extends over 450 miles from the northern coastal waters of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, along thecoasts of Belize and Guatemala, down to the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras. The Meso-AmericanReef was recently identified as one of the Top 10 coral reef ‘Biodiversity Hotspots’ in the world.It contains some of the most highly-developed coral formations in the world (more than 65 species of stonycoral), supporting an amazing diversity of marine life. More than 500 species of fish have been recordedalong the reef, many of which support the livelihoods of local fishermen residing along the Caribbean coast.It is not uncommon to see dolphins while snorkeling along the reef and sea turtles lolling on the beaches.The Sian Ka’an, and the Punta Allen area in particular, are world-class sites for saltwater flats and flyfishing, and attract light-tackle anglers from around the globe year-round.Not simply for serious birdwatchers and fishermen, the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve has much to offeranyone with an appreciation for, and a love of unspoiled nature.Sol Caribe can arrange a wide variety of tours for guests, whatever their interests – bird watching, wildlife,snorkeling, kayaking, fly fishing, Mayan ruins. One-day tours are run by local non-profit organizations andhighly-qualified guides, and offer a glimpse into the intricate and dramatic interplay of nature and history ina unique ecological environment.Snorkeling trips out to the Meso-American Reef, the largest coral reef eco-system in the WesternHemisphere.Boat trips around the lagoon to mangroves and islands full of nesting birds (pelicans, ibis, heron, egretsand roseate spoonbills are commonly sighted, as is the occasional crocodile).Trips to the Muyil ruins, a Mayan archaeological site within the Sian Ka’an surrounded by jungle, followedby floating in life-jackets through ancient canals.Lagoon and sea kayakingWorld-class saltwater fly fishing in the Bahia de la Ascension (Ascension Bay) and Boca Paila lagoon:bonefish, snook, tarpon and permit.Deep-sea fishing for marlin, sailfish, mahi-mahi, grouper and barracudaSol Caribe supports the initiatives of the Meso-American Reef Fund (MAR Fund), a conservation trustproject of the World Wildlife Federation which promotes and encourages sustainable tourism within theMeso-American Barrier Reef System.Tours:Ecotour classic: visit the lagoon to the south, the bird island and the beautiful coral reef by boat, the guidewill tell you everything about the birds in the Reserve, he will try to find turtles, crocodiles, starfish anddolphins, he will show you the different types of mangroves.

You will have to navigate the labyrinth of mangrove passageways to reach the Santa Rosapeninsula.Chac Mool is a small but interesting archaeological site, partially because of its remoteness, but alsobecause it has some similarities to Chichen Itza and Tulum. Chichen Itza, because there have beenseveral Chac Mool statues found there. You will find the namesake for the site, the reclining Chac Moolwhich represents one of the most powerful deities of the ancient Maya. Chac was the God of rain andthunder, and his color was red. It's interesting that one of the Chac Mool's hands was red, apparently aremnant from its creators. Includes lunch. 7-8 hoursUS$ 450 per boat (2 pers. max.)For those guests who are renting a car at Cancun airport, take Highway 307 south to Tulum (approx 1.5hours). At the first crossroads in Tulum, turn left towards Tulum Playa (Beach) and take this beach road allthe way down to Sol Caribe (another 35 kms). After Tulum Beach, you will enter the Sian Ka’an BiosphereReserve through the arch at its northern entrance. It is impossible to get lost because there is only one roadheading south through the Reserve – and you’re on it!Most guidebooks say that the road from Tulum to Punta Allen is terrible. Is this true and what kind of car do Ineed for it?It is true that the road used to be in terrible shape, particularly after storms. In the last year or so, however,it has been extensively resurfaced and there are constant and ongoing improvements being made to it. Youcan now get to Punta Allen from Tulum in around two hours and pretty much any car will do. In bad weatherthough, a Jeep or 4-wheel drive will always come in handy. The closest gas station is in Tulum, so rememberto refuel before entering the Sian Ka’an. If you do run out of gas, however, usually somebody in Punta Allen isalways willing to sell you some.Public transportation : There is a minivan from Tulum to Punta Allen at 2 pm daily leaving from the main taxistation in Tulum. The price is $ 250 Pesos per person and way. The van leaves Punta Allen at 6 am headingback to Tulum.Private Airport transfer: We can arrange a private airport transfer for US$ 250 per way (for 1- 2 person, US$ 30more for every additional person.)At the request of many of our long-time guests, we have now installed wi-fi and it is available in the receptionarea. Cellphone reception is still not available, however. We have a landline at Sol Caribe, which isavailable to guests in emergencies.Sol Caribe serves breakfast (7am to 10am), lunch (12pm to 3 pm) and dinner (6pm to 9pm), our restaurant is also open for guests not staying at the resort.

Chichen Itza, because there have beenseveral Chac Mool statues found there. You will find the namesake for the site, the reclining Chac Moolwhich represents one of the most powerful deities of the ancient Maya. Chac was the God of rain andthunder, and his color was red. It's interesting that one of the Chac Mool's hands was red, apparently aremnant from its creators. Includes lunch. 7-8 hoursUS$ 450 per boat (2 pers. max.)For those guests who are renting a car at Cancun airport, take Highway 307 south to Tulum (approx 1.5hours). At the first crossroads in Tulum, turn left towards Tulum Playa (Beach) and take this beach road allthe way down to Sol Caribe (another 35 kms). After Tulum Beach, you will enter the Sian Ka’an BiosphereReserve through the arch at its northern entrance. It is impossible to get lost because there is only one roadheading south through the Reserve – and you’re on it!Most guidebooks say that the road from Tulum to Punta Allen is terrible. Is this true and what kind of car do Ineed for it?It is true that the road used to be in terrible shape, particularly after storms. In the last year or so, however,it has been extensively resurfaced and there are constant and ongoing improvements being made to it. Youcan now get to Punta Allen from Tulum in around two hours and pretty much any car will do. In bad weatherthough, a Jeep or 4-wheel drive will always come in handy. The closest gas station is in Tulum, so rememberto refuel before entering the Sian Ka’an. If you do run out of gas, however, usually somebody in Punta Allen isalways willing to sell you some.Public transportation : There is a minivan from Tulum to Punta Allen at 2 pm daily leaving from the main taxistation in Tulum. The price is $ 250 Pesos per person and way. The van leaves Punta Allen at 6 am headingback to Tulum.Private Airport transfer: We can arrange a private airport transfer for US$ 250 per way (for 1- 2 person, US$ 30more for every additional person.)At the request of many of our long-time guests, we have now installed wi-fi and it is available in the receptionarea.

The bar is a lively place and open until 10pm.For guests who would like to sample the local cuisine, there are a number of restaurants in Punta Allen, a laidback fishing village five miles down the road.There is plenty to do around Punta Allen and inside the Sian Ka’an!

Designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, it is Mexico’s largest wetlandnature reserve.Sian Ka’an marks the end of the Mayan Riviera just south of Tulum. Its endless stretches of untouchedmangroves, jungle, lakes, lagoons and deserted Caribbean beaches are home to an extraordinary array ofbirds and wildlife in an ecologically protected environment. Sian Ka’an is home to many exotic creatures,including 103 known mammal species (such as jaguars, tapirs, manatees, ocelots, crocodiles) and336 known bird species (pelicans, falcons, vultures, cormorants, storks, and hundreds of exotic birds),amphibians and reptiles.There are very few inhabited spots along the coast, and development is tightly regulated, which gives this50-km stretch of Caribbean Sea coastline a feeling of remote tranquility and relative isolation. Theatmosphere is in stark contrast to the rest of the Mexican Riviera further north – it is the anti-Cancun. Thewild road from Tulum through Boca Paila to Punta Allen at land’s end is one for the adventurous andboasts fabulous views of sea, sky, sand and jungle. Sian Ka’an is truly deserving of its Mayan name,meaning ‘where the Sky is born’.Sian Ka’an is also an ideal place from which to explore the Meso-American Reef, the largest coral reefsystem in the Western Hemisphere (and second-largest in the world after Australia’s Great Barrier Reef).It extends over 450 miles from the northern coastal waters of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, along thecoasts of Belize and Guatemala, down to the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras. The Meso-AmericanReef was recently identified as one of the Top 10 coral reef ‘Biodiversity Hotspots’ in the world.It contains some of the most highly-developed coral formations in the world (more than 65 species of stonycoral), supporting an amazing diversity of marine life. More than 500 species of fish have been recordedalong the reef, many of which support the livelihoods of local fishermen residing along the Caribbean coast.It is not uncommon to see dolphins while snorkeling along the reef and sea turtles lolling on the beaches.The Sian Ka’an, and the Punta Allen area in particular, are world-class sites for saltwater flats and flyfishing, and attract light-tackle anglers from around the globe year-round.Not simply for serious birdwatchers and fishermen, the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve has much to offeranyone with an appreciation for, and a love of unspoiled nature.Sol Caribe can arrange a wide variety of tours for guests, whatever their interests – bird watching, wildlife,snorkeling, kayaking, fly fishing, Mayan ruins.
