 Holbox Island, one of the world's natural beauties, is located on the northern tip of the Yucatán Peninsula, in the state of Quintana Roo, México and is part of an ecological reserve - the fauna and flora protection area "Yum Balam." To the east lies Cabo Catoche, separated from the island by the beautiful Laguna Yalahau. Holbox island is 43 Km long and its white sand beaches are decorated with countless shells washed to the shore from the sea.
Holbox Island is the home of the whale sharks in Mexico.
The Laguna Yalahau near Holbox Island Mexico (part of the Yum Balam reserve) is surrounded by mangroves, once a valuable material to make ink sticks that were sent to Europe. At the mouth of the lagoon sits the famous "ojo de agua" which has provided fresh drinking water through the centuries. It is in this lagoon where the pink flamingoes, typical in the summer season, feed. Often, one may see dolphins and many fish species, as well as whale sharks and other marine life.
Isla de Pájaros (Bird Island) is located in the Laguna Yalahau. Over 140 bird species living in the Yucatán visit Holbox Island and the Yum Balam reserve throughout the year, and many of them become permanent inhabitants. This Island is a protected natural area which can be reached only by boat and it is forbidden to set foot on it. These precautions now allow humans to visit the island and get close by without frightening its population.
