Activities
The Costa Maya is unspoiled by large development and focuses on ecotourism and bio-diversity. With the jungle behind us and the sea at our doorstep, nature envelopes Balamku.
At Balamku, you will want to relax and be with the beauty of nature. There are countless varieties of birds (orioles, jays, flycatchers, hummingbirds and sea birds, especially) many butterflies and interesting iguanas to observe as you walk/hike in our area. |

The coral reef, just metres from our beach, makes snorkeling and kayaking one of our special activities. There is no charge for using the kayaks, so you can enjoy the sea at your leisure. There is a small charge for snorkeling equipment.

SIAN KAAN BIOSPHERE RESERVE
www.cesiak.org/aboutsiankaan.htm
One of Mexico´s Natural Protected Parks, Sian Kaan, just north of the Costa Maya, is best accessed around Tulum on your way south to Balamku.
However, there are fishermen in our south end of the biosphere who will take you
on a boat trip. This is about one hour north of Mahahual. A sunken ship is
accessible in that area without a boat - an interesting snorkeling opportunity.
Mayan Archaeological Sites - More Info
Only one hour from Balamku, enjoy the beautiful jungle setting and ruins of Chacchoben. Kohunlich, famous for the stucco masks, and Dzibanche, are close to Chetumal but can be seen in a day trip. A good resource for Mayan guides: www.chacchobenruins.com
