Earlier I was checking damage to our vegetable patch as wild boar were here again last night and they seem to have taken a shine to my husband's carrots!

I glance up as I hear screech of a Booted Eagle letting his mate know she has nothing to fear from carrion eating vultures as their constant circling takes them further and further down valley searching no doubt for some unfortunate Ibex or goat who tried one leap too many.

The wildlife here is phenomenal nd variety of birds seems never ending. Last night we could hear hooting of European Eagle owl at valley bottom and at sametime were lulled back to sleep by beautifu singing of a nightingale perched somewhere outside our bedroom window.

The out of ordinary temptations— The island is a host two numerous crystal clear beaches and is virtually divided into two segments- Hotel Zone and El Centro or Cancun City. The Hotel Zone is a meant to hail tourists with a multitude of hotels, restaurants, markets and delectable water activities. Your travel agency can service you with reservations. The charges fluctuate from hotel to hotel. The El Centro is area of locals and is often thronged by outsiders due to fantastic cultural festivals and activities.

The mystifying white sand and large transparent water bodies at Cancun encourage numerous relished water sports. You can enjoy snorkeling and swimming next to dolphins at any of beaches and especially at places like Xcaret nature park, Xel Ha and Isla Mujeres. But this is not all. If you don’t want to get drenched in crystal blue water, try your hand at horse riding, golf, kayaking etc. The Xcaret nature park that is around 35 miles away from Cancun has mind blowing coral formations along with outstanding Mayan temples. The south of Cancun invites you to rare and diverse species of wildlife at Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve.
