Punta Laguna Nature Reserve

Punta Laguna Nature Reserve is a protected area featuring two freshwater lakes near Tulum. The reserve contains mangrove forests and wetlands where wildlife like jaguars and pumas live in their natural habitat.

The area held importance for Maya communities over centuries and now functions as a protected zone. Local groups have traditionally managed the land and kept it from being developed as the coastal region expanded.

Visitors can explore the lakes on foot via trails or by boat, and walk along the shorelines. Bring insect repellent and wear comfortable shoes since the paths are often wet and uneven.

The reserve is run by local Maya communities who guide tours and protect the area through sustainable management. This means visitors learn from people who have known the land for generations.
