Its vegetation is typical of the coastal dunes and mangroves that make up an extraordinary ecosystem, especially at the confluence of sea salt and freshwater deposits, its pristine beaches, and its flora and fauna, which are part of the Río Lagartos Nature Reserve.

DAY 7. VALLADOLID – THE CASTAS WAR ROUTE – BACALAR
After breakfast at the hotel. If you visit the Yucatan Peninsula, learning about the Caste War will allow you to discover a fascinating history of Mayan resistance that marked the region between 1847 and 1901. This war was an uprising of the Mayan people against the white population that dominated northwestern Yucatan, and for decades the Mayans controlled much of the territory, especially in the south and east. Among the most important cities in this history is Chan Santa Cruz (now Felipe Carrillo Puerto), which was the capital and spiritual center of the rebels, where the cult of the “Talking Cross” united the Maya in their struggle. Other key cities were San Antonio Muyil and Santa Cruz Tulum, on the north coast of Quintana Roo, which also played a crucial role during the war. In addition, places such as Valladolid and Mérida were the scenes of battles and refuges for the white population.
