Holbox Island. It is located 10 kilometers from the Yucatan’s Peninsula Northern Coast. It is 40 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide. It is a perfect place to get away from everything, and it’s also an excellent site to admire some fascinating aquatic bird species. It’s ideal for scuba diving. Here it is possible to swim with the whale shark.

Holbox, which means “black hole” in Maya, gets its name from the color of the water of its lagoon. This magical place is part of the Yum Balam Wildlife Preserve, which combines incompatible views and exotic endangered plant and animal species that are protected, admired and taken care of here.  On Holbox, ideal for those seeking peace and contact with nature, part of the main attraction is walking on the sandy streets dotted with picturesque little houses. The hotel infrastructure is rustic, ecological, using natural resources to operate.

There are also small restaurants on the island serving up the catch of the day. Holbox offers all sorts of ecological tours, watching whale sharks, manta rays, and turtles. And from April through October, flamingos visit this white island to feed on the tiny organisms that give them their signature pink coloring… an experience one should not miss.
