Isla Columpios Day Trip
Get Lost Between Sandbanks and Mangroves
About
Just a stone's throw from Merida lies the paradise known as Isla Columpios in the small fishing community of Chuburná. Born from the aftermath of Hurricane Gilberto's passage in the 1980's, the remnants of that natural phenomenon reveal a breathtaking landscape of dunes and mangroves. At Isla Columpios, the crystalline, shallow waters, shift from emerald to turquoise, and exotic birdlife thrives. Take a boat trip to this hidden paradise and decide wether you want to set off on a thrilling kayak expedition, or simply claim your own spot on a hammock under the Yucatecan sun. The local ecotourism cooperative will prepare a fresh catch lunch before heading back to Merida for the afternoon.
