Excellent discovery of Rio/Ria Lagartos with Jorge's team! We discovered both the fauna and the flora while taking our time which gives the adventure a special flavor.
The aim of this tour is to sensitize the tourists to the beautiful nature offered here and to learn to know it.
Then we had lunch on the beach where the team had prepared for us the fish among others.
Chill and fish to finish?
I'll say no more: do not pass by this experience.

For us it was an extraordinary experience in Rio Lagartos. It started with the experience and advice what you can do in Rio Lagartos and how long you can stay there. Wir waren 2 Tage in Rio Lagartos. The tour was perfect and we were able to learn a lot about nature from Jorge and his team because they knew it very well. In addition, we could also learn a lot about the Mexican way of life. The common meal in the afternoon was the perfect ending. We can only recommend to go to Rio Lagartos and to take the tour.

We had a wonderful day in Rio Lagartos! Jorge and his team did everything they could to make this day unforgettable for us.
Angefangen von der top Beratung vorab (möglichst früh starten, am besten 2 Tage in Rio Lagartos einplanen) bis hin zum geimsamen Abschluss beim Abendessen und Sonnenuntergang war alles perfekt!
Man merkt, dass die Natur jedem einzelnen Teammitglied sehr am Herzen liegt und sie mit Leidenschaft alles erklären und zeigen. This makes this experience unbeatable and unique!
As a group of 6 people, we had a lot of fun and can only recommend it again? Preis-Leistung ist spitze und die Anreise lohnt sich auf jeden Fall!

Wir hatten eine tolle Fahrt mit Ricardo. Er hat ein gutes Auge und hat immer angehalten wenn Tiere zu sehen waren und viel erklärt. Er war auch sonst super hilfsbereit (Schlamm für uns ausgegraben...). Die Tour ist schön und zu empfehlen wenn man Tiere und Natur genießen möchte.

We did the basic 2 hour tour with Jorge and it was a fantastic experience.
Jorge was very knowledgeable and told us about animals, about nature, and he extended the tour and treated us wonderfully.
From seeing crocodiles, flamingos, different birds, to going through the mangroves and swimming at the beach.
Highly recommended, very affordable price and very good tour.

Luoghi magici fuori dal tempo, grazie per questo tour!
A beautiful and highly recommendable experience. Jorge and his team are super professional. We did the tour with Carlos, a very prepared and nice guy. Rio Lagartos and Las Coloradas are a place out of time, absolutely to see if you are in the area!

Unique tour with guides who have a lot of experience?
We had a wonderful day in Rio Lagartos! Jorge and his team did everything they could to make this day unforgettable for us. Angefangen von der top Beratung vorab (möglichst früh starten, am besten 2 Tage in Rio Lagartos einplanen) bis hin zum geimsamen Abschluss beim Abendessen des selbst gefangenen Fisches war alles perfekt! We believe that nature is very close to the heart of each individual team member and that they are able to explain and show everything in a clear way. This makes this experience unbeatable and unique! As a group of 6 people, we had a lot of fun and can only recommend it again? Preis-Leistung ist spitze und die Anreise lohnt sich auf jeden Fall für jeden der Mexiko richtig erleben will!

Nature
A way to connect with nature and learn from it, our guide Ricardo native of the lunar explained everything to us, we saw different species of animals and wildlife. Recommended to enjoy something different, they have different tours if you go with small children or with friends. They also have a restaurant and different tours for family or friends.

Unique experience
Very nice experience we lived, especially that the treatment is completely personalized by the staff. On the tour you can see many birds of the region, as well as mangroves and a magnificent boat ride, we had the opportunity to see crocodiles in their natural habitat and that's what makes it really worth it. All excellent, I recommend it, you will not regret it.
