The Celestun Reserve is famous for its flamingos, pelicans, herons and cormorants. The local beaches are also a breeding ground for sea turtles. During the trip, I was able to see huge flamingo colonies, consisting of thousands of individuals. The pink mass of birds feeding in the shallow waters of the lagoon and the ubiquitous cackling and trumpeting from thousands of throats make an amazing impression. During the trip, I also had the opportunity to admire the magnificent mangrove forests that cover a large part of the reserve.
