Description: In Playa del Carmen hot, steamy days fade to cool afternoons, an excellent time to visit the Xaman-Ha Aviary in Playacar. It is run by a private foundation sponsored by Situr, the corporation behind the Playacar development. The admission fee is a reasonable and it's well worth a visit. If you don't have a rental car take a taxi, or you could find yourself wandering, lost on the Playacar golf course fairway.
The aviary setting takes visitors into a tamed Yucatecan jungle to wander along trails in a botanical garden. The plants are carefully labeled for amateur horticulturists. Flamingos and other long-legged birds amble about a pond. Adventurous birds occasionally hop onto the pedestrian paths; on more than one occasion the staff has had to rescue someone being pursued by aggressive pelicans. Overhead parrots of many colors squawk in the trees. In the main enclosure visitors can get within ten feet of a toucan.
