Church in small Yucatan town

by karenincalifornia

Between Merida and Celestun are a number of small Yucatecan towns. Very poor, but they have their charm. Typically, in the center of town is a park or town square and a painted Catholic church. This town may have been Kinchil.

Celestun, In Yucatan, is located between the Rio Esperanza and the Gulf of Mexico. The beach has white sand but the breeze can be strong and if the breeze turns into a wind the sand and dust is stirred up and makes it an unpleasant place to be. Because of the possible winds the best time to visit Celestun is in the morning.

Celestun; the pink flamingo colonies

by Dutchnatasja

During the right season, Celestún is home to more than 18,000 flamingoes, representing North America's only mainland flamingo population. Located on the western edge of the Yucatan peninsula, the Celestún Estuary serves as the main feeding area for the pink American flamingo, and many more graceful bird species.

Boat tours to see the pink flamingo colonies and the beautiful landscapes of this birds and mammals sanctuary are available, so if you have the change, take a boatride because what you'll get to see is amazing. I've never seen so many flamingoes in one time.
