Celestun

CELESTUN

Celestun is a charming fishing village of approximately 6000 people. Tricycle taxis tether people about the sand streets of the town from tiny vegetable or meat shops, and then back home again. Town folk visit in the town square which is bordered by the main town market, the village church, the municipal office and a few restaurants. Old men and young mothers watch children play under the shade of the trees. The weekends bring activity to the usually quiet stretch of tranquil beach. There, families gather to enjoy the warm waters of the 'emerald sea', the brilliant sunshine, feast upon fresh fish, and savor the change of colors cast by the majestic sunset. Be sure to take a tour to see the flamingos and other amazing birds in the Ria Celestun Biosphere Reserve.

Travel enables us to enrich our lives with new experiences, to enjoy and to be educated, to learn respect for foreign cultures, to establish friendships, and above all, to contribute to international cooperation and peace throughout the world.
