About this experience
Discover Cenote Casa Tortuga and Tulum on a Full-Day Guided Adventure
Set off on a full-day escape blending ancient history, stunning nature, and authentic culture. Travel in comfort with roundtrip transportation in an air-conditioned van to the iconic coastal ruins of Tulum, where you'll enjoy two hours of self-guided exploration through this ancient Mayan city overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
Then, cool off at Casa Tortuga, a cenote park featuring four unique natural pools—two open-air and two in mystical limestone caves. A local expert will guide you through each one as you swim in crystal-clear waters.
Recharge with a traditional lunch featuring your choice of grilled chicken, spicy fish fillet, or fajitas. Don’t forget to take iconic photos at the Tulum sign and the famous “Ven a la Luz” sculpture.
Wrap up the day with a short visit to Playa del Carmen for shopping or sightseeing before returning to your hotel.
