TRIP PLAN:
Solferino:
Our first stop is Solferino, the oldest Mayan city in northern Quintana Roo. Its name is Maya is Labcah (old city). It owes its name to beautiful trees that had a natural dye in them, which was most often used to dye fabrics.
Prepared tree logs were laid out in the city center and waited for rain. Because thanks to this, the rainwater changed its color to red, which is the source of the name of the city of Solferino.
The jungle begins in this small town in the north. We arrive at a beautiful place, surrounded by tropical vegetation, where fresh fruit, cake and juices are served.
Chiquila:
Our next stop is Chiquilá (10 minutes by car). There, our boats with their captains and professional guides are waiting for you to start your visit to Isla Kos, Isla Pájaros (the island of birds) and Isla Pasión (the island of passion). It is the perfect place to admire the different varieties of tropical birds as well as pink flamingos. With good luck, dolphins may appear in the Yalahau Lagoon.
