Description
Explore the seaside temples of Tulum
After pick-up at your resort, the journey begins with a visit to the magical Mayan ruins of Tulum, the only archaeological site built next to the Caribbean Sea. With an expert bilingual guide, you’ll learn about how the walled city of Tulum was important for the Mayans as a worship center to the ‘Descending God’, whose temple you can see on this outing. You’ll also view perhaps the most iconic of Tulum’s structures, ‘El Castillo’, which served as a lighthouse for tradesmen coming into the city from the open sea.
Float around nature’s artwork in a cenote
After your guided tour and free time in Tulum, your excursion continues at a magical Mayan cenote (sinkhole) for a cool swim in its crystal-clear waters. Cenotes were sacred to the Mayans, and once you encounter the breathtaking beauty of its caverns and rock formations, you’ll understand how this underground river system inspired an ancient civilization. For thousands of years, drop by drop, nature has artistically molded the rock formations within the caves, leaving stunningly perfect figures that will take your mind into new worlds.
Snorkel with colorful sea life at Yal-ku
The final stop takes you to another marvel of nature — the blue waters of the Yal-ku inlet. This aquatic paradise gets its magical color from a subterranean river that mixes with ocean water. With full snorkel equipment, you’ll explore the abundant, multi-color marine life that only exists in this freshwater-saltwater ecosystem. And to put the final touches on a perfect day, let your eyes feast on a paradise beach while your taste buds delight in a beach-side lunch, giving you some well-deserved rest and relaxation before returning to your resort.
