Museum

Our small Natural History Museum, located beside the reception, offers an overall view of the flora and fauna surrounding the hotel.

The insects, reptiles, plants, nests and shells that are displayed in our showcases have been carefully selected and were all found within a 1 kilometer (0.62 miles) radius of the hotel. Therefore you can see samples from the Gulf of Mexico as well as from the coastal dune ecosystem.

Those interested in learning more about the biodiversity that surrounds us may consult the specialized literature we carry in our museum or ask our knowledgeable tour guide who grew up in this region.

  • Did you know that the henequen fiber is called Sisal due to the port from where it was exported?
  • Did you know that scorpions have survived atomic tests? Or that they use their sting mainly for mating purposes?
  • Did you know that sea turtles always go back to their place of birth to lay their eggs?

These are just a few samples of the topics that you can learn at the museum of Eco Paraíso Xixim.
