From the safety of your boat, crocodiles are seen sunning themselves on the shore while turtles, fish and other aquatic creatures play in the peaceful water. Tour guides are known for taking extra time to ensure an entertaining tour and are more than happy to slow down to show riders the things only locals have a trained eye for.

The area boasts an amazing collection of birds that enjoy the expansive trees and grand collection of fish, insects and rodents to feed on. Bring binoculars to get an up close view of these majestic and even comical animals who have grown accustom to humans, but still remain a safe distance from travelers.

The area offers a perfect adventure just waiting for the avid adventurer or passive visitor. Wildlife encounters are sure to please children, as well as, parents while photographers have a field day with the candid shots to be taken along the journey. The San Blas Jungle River Tour offers a great trip for about $60 per person. It’s a great idea to bring sunscreen, bug repellent, water, a towel and pesos. There are a few shops in town that may beckon tourists, but pesos are a must for payment. A swimsuit may also be a smart addition to your wardrobe as it is likely to get wet during your travels. The trip is sure to bring a smile or two to any visitor looking for a glimpse into the jungles of Mexico.
