Travelers Guide to
Ria Lagartos
Ria Lagartos Biosphere Reserve
Upon arrival to the Biosphere Reserve of Ría Lagartos, flocks of pink flamingos and egrets are seen casually feeding in the lagoons on each side of the road. When they travel, they always fly in groups that appear, up in the sky, as blazing clouds of vibrant colors varying from deep red coral to hop pink. Thanks to the carotene contained in crustaceans and algae in the estuaries of Ría Lagartos, the pink flamingos of the Yucatan Peninsula are able to reach the incomparable and shocking color that they are famous for.
Like most gregarious species, flamingos are monogamous in nature. They reach sexual maturity between the ages of two and three, and have a long life span.
They nest once a year in May-only one or two eggs are incubated-and from the beginning of June, one can see grayish chicks in the waterways of El Cuyo and Las Coloradas, two of the nearby villages.
Year after year, in the springtime, flamingos return to this area to reproduce; nevertheless, due to habitat destruction and the decreasing number of birds, nesting has become a miraculous act.
Today, the pink flamingo is included on the endangered species list. In order to preserve threatened wildlife, several areas along the Gulf Coast have been established as natural reserves.
