Beyond the turquoise waters of Laguna Bacalar is a thriving ecosystem full of life. This wildlife photography collection shows some of the biodiversity around the Akalki sanctuary.
These photos capture Mexico's native species in their natural habitats — spider monkeys in the canopy, coatis poking around the jungle floor, Morelet's crocodiles gliding through the mangroves. The region's bird life gets its own spotlight too, with close-ups of the Greater Kiskadee, Hooded Oriole, and other tropical birds. A look at the wilder side of the Yucatán.
