(also known as the "Celestun Biosphere Reserve").

A wetland reserve that is the winter home of vast flocks of flamingos, as well as many herons and other bird species. In addition, about 300 species of birds cross into the Reserve, which migrates. The ecosystem of Celestun is unique because of the combination of fresh water from the estuary and salt water from the Gulf of Mexico. The reserve also has two types of pelicans - great Canadian whites and small grey Mexicans.
