Birdwatching in the Sian Ka’an Muyil

Muyil was a very influential trading center for the Mayan civilization. Today, it is possible to visit the Mayan ruins, situated in the semi-deciduous jungle of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, a wonderful place to go bird watching. It is a private area with tropical jungles, mangroves, and lagoons, and It also includes over 120 kilometers of coastline protected by a barrier reef.

The village at the entrance to the Biosphere is known as Muyil and is home to 300 species of birds. It is a great place to spot beautiful birds and learn about the Mayan culture.
