In the heart of Cancun you'll find the Nichupté lagoon, where you can see four kinds of mangroves, crocodiles, iguanas, leopard frogs and a wide variety of birds.
his lagoon is connected to the Caribbean Sea through two canals (the Sigfrido Canal and the Nizuc Canal), and is over 3,000 hectares.
A unique trip through the jungle allows visitors to navigate the lagoon's canals on their own jet skis, while observing the local wildlife. At dawn, joggers, cyclists and hikers can enjoy splendid scenery along the roads crossing the sea and the lagoon.
