Our third stop requires a short hike of about 15 minutes to reach this truly undiscovered gem, a Cenote, tucked away in the Jungle where no one else can find it! Join us to swim in this beautiful window to the aquifer!

After a few hours of adventuring you will be hungry!

Here we go to a beautiful seaside restaurant, called El Arponero for an amazing Dominican/Italian lunch.

After a hearty meal, we boat you straight ton the River Yuma to soak up some sun and relax as we cruise up the river Yuma looking for wildlife and watching the way of the Dominican Fisherman!
