About this experience

Discover the fascinating history of the Maya at Tulum, a spectacular ancient city overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The ruins of Tulum are a must on anyone's visit to the region, our expert guides will lead you through this wonderful site with tales of calendars, ceremony and Spanish invaders.

A delicious Mexican food tasting is included in the tour right after visiting Tulum Ruins.

Once we reach the Muyil lagoon, we take a boat across two lagoons connected by an artificial canal that has been in use for many centuries. Xlapak is the name of the building at the beginning of the lazy river and the start of an incredible floating experience in crystal clear pluvial water on its way to the Caribbean Sea. We float for over 30 minutes surrounded by mangroves, orchids, bromeliads and cacti while we hear the sounds of nature.
