The Holbox Island, one of the beauties of the world, is located on the northern side of the Yucatan peninsula, in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico and is within the limits of the area of protection of wild flora and fauna denominated "Yum Balam" which is an ecologic reserve
On the east, it adjoins with Cabo Catch and Yalahau Lagoon separates it from mainland
Holbox Island is 43 kms long and its fine sand beaches are constantly adornes with seashells that the jade color sea drags and bathes the island
The first stop will be in Chiquila, our boats with their respective captains and professional guides will be waiting for you to start the visit to Yalahau Lagoon, which is a natural paradise surrounded by mangroves and separates Holbox Island from the mainland
Then we will head to the Isla Pasión, which is the home for more than 140 bird species
On the island, you can find white ibis, frigates, white egret, double-crested cormorants, white pelicans, red egret, pink spoonbills, herons, gray pelicans and pink flamingos among others
We will ship again and our guide will offer water, soft drinks and beer on board until we arrive Punta Coco, a virgin beach at the south of the island, away from the inhabited zone where we can watch the flamingos and other prehistoric species like the horseshoe crab or sifosuro, it is also the emblematic area where thousands of people come annually to watch the impressive phenomenon of bioluminescence
The next stop will be Punta Mosquito, a kilometric extension of virgin beaches with low sand
We will anchor the boat and have some free time to cool off in this beautiful place
This stop will be conditioned by weather conditions and could be replaced by a visit to the Isla Pájaros
In both places we can still enjoy drinks on board of the boat
Finally we will head to Holbox Island to enjoy lunch in a restaurant on the beach
After lunch, you will have free time to enjoy the beach or to know the town of Holbox
Since ancient times, the Holbox Island was already considered a place of extreme beauty and was used as a place of confort and relaxation by the ancient Mayas
When the Spanish arrived in the XVI century, they found Holbox Island abandoned, but as before, they were amazed by its unique beauty
Previously it was a refuge for the authentic Pirates of the Caribbean
