Yucatán Native Plants

Yucatán’s limestone soils and tropical climate support dry forests, mangroves, and coastal dunes. Native plants include chicozapote, ceiba, and chaka trees, along with agave and henequen. Mangroves and sea grapes protect the shoreline, while orchids and bromeliads thrive in shaded forests. Seasonal rains bring bursts of wildflowers across the landscape.
