Our nature park is completely unique. 326 acres of pristine tropical jungle are criss-crossed by three amazing fresh-water rivers, dotted by ten cenotes and home to 90 species of fauna and 120 species of flora.

The nature park and preserve features diverse activities and attractions designed to provide you with direct access to the region’s rich nature and culture.

The park’s development is guided by the Tres Ríos Ecology Mission: to guarantee the enduring, intelligent and responsible use of the property’s jungle, mangrove, dune and marine ecosystems; and to preserve the natural environmental functions of the area and its flora and fauna.

In addition to three rivers, a mile of white-sand beaches, and a spectacular reef, Tres Ríos also features ten cenotes—unique, circular, refreshing, spring-water-filled sinkholes that were formed by the collapse of the limestone bedrock and reveal perfectly filtered underground rivers.

The cenotes and rivers of Tres Ríos Nature Park are a unique feature of our grounds. Cenotes nurtured human life around them for thousands of years and held a special place in the culture of the Maya, who regarded them as connections to the underworld where the soul could be cleansed. After enjoying yourself outside on a warm tropical day, cleanse your body and refresh your soul at Cenote Águila, then swim or snorkel down the Río Selva to the beach and kayak up the Río Pájaros.

The Botanical Garden and Nursery will introduce visitors to local flora and the area’s various ecosystems, showcasing examples of the 120 species found in Tres Ríos, which include some protected species.

The Nursery, which has been in operation since before hotel construction began, will continue to cultivate thousands of plants and trees to be used in reforestation projects and in the landscaping for the resorts. The preservation and propagation of México’s delicate forest and mangrove ecosystem is of paramount importance to Tres Ríos.

The Nature Preserve is designed for minimal human impact; there will be no substantial amount of development. Its nature walks and trails allow guests to visit and enjoy the pristine environment at Tres Ríos.

The Reserva las Garzas, the park’s bird sanctuary, features a self-guided boardwalk tour with lookout points designed to let observation take place without disturbing the existing ecosystem. Guests will enjoy birding tours on foot or by kayak with qualified local guides. (NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE)

As part of the Tres Ríos Nature Park, the Mayan Cultural Center celebrates the culture and way of life of the Maya. The main elements include a typical Mayan pueblo or house, an organic fruit and vegetable garden, and a milpa (maize, or corn, field). The milpas and organic gardens are fertilized with compost from the kitchens of the resorts as well as by garden cuttings. (NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE)
