Detailed itinerary
1
Discover Yal Kú Cove, a breathtaking natural wonder where a serene lagoon meets the vibrant Caribbean Sea in the heart of the Riviera Maya. Renowned as one of the region’s most stunning spots, this tranquil paradise invites you to swim and snorkel in crystal-clear waters teeming with colorful marine life.

Next, we’ll visit an open cenote nestled deep in the jungle. Marvel at the lush vegetation and crystal-clear waters as you snorkel through the underground river—once considered by the Mayans to be the sacred entrance to the underworld. These freshwater "swimming sinkholes" have been carved into limestone over millions of years, creating breathtaking rock formations. It’s the perfect place to cool off and immerse yourself in the wild beauty of the jungle.
