When talking about the desert, it is inevitable to think of camels, but if you think that these docile hunchbacks only live in arid areas, you will be surprised to learn that a group of them live in the Riviera Maya. These magnificent animals are fascinating because it is rare to see them on the beach since they are native to the dry areas of Africa and Asia.

Camels are characterized by a long neck, a small head and a split upper lip. Their eyes are protected by long lashes that serve as a shield against sandstorms and the intense reflection of the sun. They have the characteristic of closing their nostrils to prevent dust from entering, as well as beautiful, irregularly shaped, sand-colored fur that wraps their body for protection.
