El Cuyo Hotels and Travel Guide
El Cuyo is the hidden treasure of the Yucatecan emerald coast. You can find this charming fishermen's village on the northeast coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, where the turquoise blue Caribbean mingles with the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It is located only two hours from Cancun and three hours from the colonial city of Merida, capital of the Yucatan state.
El Cuyo's special location provides breathtaking sunrises and sunsets over the beach. And at night, you can enjoy a romantic campfire on the beach and gaze into an infinite sky filled with stars. To get to El Cuyo, go north from Valladolid to Tizimin, go East to Colonia Yucatan, and then North to El Cuyo. You can refer to our Map of the Yucatan for more information.

El
Cuyo is located on the northeast tip of the Yucatan
Peninsula, Mexico and
is a small virgin fishermen village with
beautiful white sand beaches, that is unknown so
far by most people. 
El Cuyo is a small beach community where you will enjoy the tranquil ambience of a port. Everything about it invites you to relax and enjoy the beauty of the nature.
This hidden paradise is nestled in the National Park of Ria Lagartos, which is internationally famous for the 20,000 pink flamingos that come to the area between January and September for reproduction.
It is also the home of the Sea Turtle that visits the beach shores between June and August to lay their eggs in the warm sand. With more than 250 different birds visiting
El Cuyo, it is also a fantastic place for bird watching. In addition to the diverse wildlife, you will find a tropical forest full of Royal palms, coconut plantations and majestic Ceiba trees, the national tree of Yucatan.
Ria Lagartos National Park is considered a true jewel for lovers of peace and nature…far away from telephones, pagers, and computers.
As you arrive in El Cuyo, you will cross the Ria Lagartos causeway over a red lagoon whose color is the result of a high concentration of salt. This lagoon separates El Cuyo from the mainland of Yucatan.
The lighthouse that is built on the remains of old Mayan ruins welcomes you as you drive into town. The village is home to 1500 permanent residents that are dedicated fishermen and live in colorful wooden houses.
While strolling along the beach you will find an abundance of sea shells that follow the ocean current to shore.
Twenty seven thousand flamingos were tallied by the March 2001
aerial survey, covering the coastal transect of Holbox Island in Quintana Roo to Los Petenes State Reserve in Campeche. That same year 4,200 chicks were born in
El Cuyo Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve, totaling 31,200 individuals.
