Our vacataion planning experience with Rio Lagartos Advanrtures was quite disappointing. We'd visited their website and thought we'd like to stay in their lodgings a couple of nights, dine at the restaurant, and take the tour. Well, I don't know what's going on with Diego...More

We booked the Flamingo Deluxe Tour and as we decided to head out early in the morning it made sense to also stay in Rio Maya for the night. This worked out perfectly for our group (4 friends and one 10month baby). We enjoyed a...More

We bookend the deluxed tour to the flamingo's, which gives you more time to watch the flamingo's. There are plenty, but it is nice to watch them for some time. Our guide gave us a lot of information and was respectful of nature. Nice combination...More

My husband, sister and I drove up from Puerto Morelos to the town of Rio Lagartos. Be vigilant driving through Tizimin-everyone gets lost due to poor signage and one-way streets. Stayed one night at Ria Maya hotel that is owned by Diego Nuñez who runs...More

I'm not naturally an early riser, but this was totally worth it. Sign up for a 6 am boat tour to catch the end of the sunrise. We saw innumerable birds, a crocodile, pink waters, and of course, pink flamingos. Not only were we surrounded...More

We took a taxi from Cancun to Rio Lagartos ad took the tour with one of Diego's sons. From the numerous animal species we saw, topped off by the flamingos this is an experience I shall never forget and do highly recommend. After the tour,...More

Give yourself plenty of time for the drive from Valladolid, and arrive early enough for a pre-trip lunch at the Ria Maya restaurant. The tour starts about 3 p.m. We were four women, two of whom were photographers. Our guide, whom we highly recommend, was...More
