A photographic wildlife journey reserved for those who love adventure, the curious, the observers, the tireless explorers; for those who are not afraid to challenge themselves in the wilderness of Nature.
When we think of Mexico, we usually picture paradise beaches and incredible archaeological sites surrounded by jungle... In reality, this country could be described as the navel of the world, where countless species of animals and plants are born and thrive; this land has the unique privilege of holding a treasure within its borders, with diverse biospheres and lagoons that make it truly one of a kind.
Mexico tells the story of humankind and the world.

What are the main places we will visit?

It is an ideal habitat for a huge variety of animal species: from crocodiles to raccoons, and from Caribbean pink flamingos to sea eagles.

• Reserva de la Biosfera Ría Celestún

Deep within the jungle lies the archaeological site of Calakmul, one of the most important cities of the ancient Mayan world. Its great pyramids will allow us to enjoy a 360° view over the tropical forest.
Another natural wonder is the Bat Cave, from which, at sunset, millions of bats emerge, creating a truly unique spectacle.

Also known as the Lake of Seven Colors, Bacalar is famous for its waters with incredible shades of blue and turquoise.
Its beaches and crystal-clear waters make it feel more like being on a Caribbean coast than on the shores of a lake.
