The beach at Sian Ka’an
The beach at Sian Ka’an Yesterday I took a long bike ride out to the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, just south of Tulum, and spent some time on the beach. Sian Ka’an has been a Mexican national park since 1986 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, and has an area of 5,280 square [...]
