About this experience

As title name says, we will live a Mayan adventure, in which we will be in contact with the water element at all times to enjoy the cenotes and a cove in the Riviera Maya.

First of all, we will arrive at the Yalku cove where we will be able to discover the incredible marine life that exists between the lagoon and the sea, as well as the mangroves. We will have time to snorkel and explore the cove. After this we will go to Aktun where we will marvel at an underground cenote which we will explore and have time to swim in it.

Then we will go to an open cenote where we can jump on a zip line and feel the adrenaline of landing in the warm waters of this place. At the end of this activity we will get a delicious buffet with typical food from the region.

Note: In the second schedule the pickups are only available in hotels located between Ocean Maya Royale to Tulum (call us first to verify or if you have doubts)
