Wake up to the sounds of herons, flamingos, and gentle waves at RĂa Maya Lodge, a cozy-lodge perfectly located on the waterfront of RĂo Lagartos. Designed especially for birdwatchers, wildlife photographers, and fly fishermen, our small lodge offers the ideal base for exploring the rich biodiversity of the RĂa Lagartos Biosphere Reserve.
With only three comfortable rooms, RĂa Maya Lodge provides an intimate and peaceful atmosphere where guests can truly connect with nature. Each room features air conditioning, private bathroom, Wi-Fi, and a shaded terrace with stunning lagoon views — perfect for relaxing after a day on the water or in the mangroves.
Our guests enjoy easy access to private boat tours, guided birding excursions, and early-morning fishing trips, all departing directly from our dock.
Whether you’re here to capture the vibrant colors of flamingos, chase tarpon in the flats, or simply enjoy the serenity of the mangroves, RĂa Maya Lodge offers the comfort, local charm, and personal attention you deserve.

Our Location: A Quiet Departure Point Away from the Crowds
Unlike many tour operators located along the busy RĂo Lagartos MalecĂłn, RĂo Lagartos Adventures welcomes guests from our private local departure point in a peaceful area of town, away from the crowds and street activity.
Our location offers a more relaxed beginning to your adventure, where you can meet your guide, prepare for your expedition, and start your journey surrounded by the authentic atmosphere of a small fishing village.
Being away from the main waterfront allows us to provide a more personal experience, with less noise, fewer crowds, and a closer connection to the natural environment we love and protect.
From here, we have easy access to the waterways and mangrove channels of the RĂa Lagartos Biosphere Reserve, allowing us to begin exploring the incredible wildlife, flamingos, birds, and landscapes that make this region unique.
We are not located on the main MalecĂłn. Please follow the directions provided with your booking confirmation or contact us before arrival, and our team will be happy to guide you to our meeting point.
