    Worth Doing

    This is an interesting trip to see the flamingos and is worth the trip. In addition to seeing flamingos, you will also go inside a mangrove swamp.

    Sorry, I don't have any info for pick up from the hotels in Cancun.. When I went we rented a car right when we landed at the airport and did our own road trip all over the entire Yucatan.
