点评:Celestun was a very sweet beachside town. We took the bus from Merida and stayed in an Airbnb that was a cabana of hotel Manglares. We could easily walk to the center square but had a nice quiet stay at that end of the beach. We stayed one night so we could wake up early and go birding with David Bacab. He owns a small cafe off of the main square with vegetarian food, speaks good English and is passionate about birding and nature. He was a fantastic tour guide and we saw tons of birds -water birds, birds in the mangroves and birds endemic to the drier sandy flats. He also was teaching a couple other younger men to give birding tours and he was clearly a very good teacher and the young men had a great eye for birds. David also gave us a tip to get the flamingo tour from the bridge which was a great experience. They take you on the inner channel which is brackish water and where the flamingos prefer. There are some tours that launch from the beach but this channel accessed from the bridge is apparently the better way to go. It also felt much more organized and regulated instead of being hassled by lots of boatmen on the beach. We were glad to stay the night to make sure we could go on such wonderful birding trips but one thing to note is that the town closes up shop early. Almost all restaurants were closed by 5-6pm which left us piecing together dinner. I think most people come in for the day as many of the restaurants are very tourist focused but I do recommend staying the night. Their economy could use it and it was the best way to go birding and support the people who not only really care about the natural areas but are helping to teach the younger generation to preserve the natural areas that make the town so special. All and all a fantastic stay in Celestun!
翻译:塞莱斯顿是一个非常可爱的海滨小镇。我们从梅里达乘坐巴士,住在 Airbnb 的 Manglares 酒店小屋里。我们可以轻松地步行到中心广场,但在海滩的尽头度过了一段安静的时光。我们在这里住了一晚,这样我们就可以早起,和 David Bacab 一起去观鸟。他在主广场外拥有一家提供素食的小咖啡馆,能说一口流利的英语,对观鸟和大自然充满热情。他是一位出色的导游,我们看到了很多鸟——水鸟、红树林里的鸟和干燥沙滩上的特有鸟。他还教其他几个年轻人进行观鸟之旅,他显然是一位非常好的老师,年轻人对鸟类很有眼光。David 还给了我们一个提示,让我们从桥上参加火烈鸟之旅,这是一次很棒的体验。他们会带你去内部水道,那里是咸水,火烈鸟喜欢在那里。有些旅行团从海滩出发,但从桥上进入这个水道显然是更好的选择。感觉这里更有秩序、更有秩序,海滩上没有那么多船夫来骚扰我们。我们很高兴在这里住了一晚,确保我们能进行如此美妙的观鸟之旅,但有一点需要注意,小镇很早就关门了。几乎所有的餐馆都在下午 5-6 点关门,所以我们只能自己准备晚餐。我想大多数人来这里都是白天,因为很多餐馆都以游客为中心,但我确实建议在这里住一晚。他们的经济可以得到利用,这是观鸟和支持那些不仅真正关心自然区域,而且还帮助教导年轻一代保护自然区域的人们的最佳方式,正是这些自然区域让这个小镇如此特别。总之,在塞莱斯顿的住宿非常愉快!
