TULUM RUINS AND CENOTE TOUR
To start the day, we will visit one of the most sublime and impressive archaeological sites of the Riviera Maya: Tulum. It is the only city of the ancient Maya located on the Caribbean Sea. With breathtaking views and walled fortresses, Tulum was the most important commercial port of the Maya who inhabited the region, especially for trade in obsidian. Do not miss the opportunity to walk in an old Mayan city and admire the power of the Maya; it will surely be an unforgettable experience!
You will be guided by your own private, certified tour host for approximately 1.5 hours walking tour. Your guide will share all of Tulum’s secrets and great mysteries with you just before you jump into your first fresh water cave cenote, 10 minutes away from the ruins. A quick ice-cold Corona and light snacks before your adventure continues at a privately owned ranch with three exquisite cenotes. But before entering we must participate in the most important ceremony of the day; a Tequila Tasting of true Mexican tequila!
As we head underground, you will be able to experience the 3 different cenotes that exist: A full-cave cenote, a semi-open cenote, and a fully open cenote. As we move from each one, you will learn the importance cenotes play in our ecosystem, where and how they form, their wildlife inhabitants, the flora and fauna that surrounds them, and the culture and history that hide inside them. There is no limit as to how long you can swim and explore in each location. You don’t have to be an expert swimmer to fully enjoy this experience! All snorkel equipment, life vests etc. will be provided for your convenience to float with ease through the cenotes.
To finish the day, we will go to the best and most authentic restaurant Tulum town has to offer for lunch. Reminiscent of the days spent in Abuela’s kitchen, you will enjoy a variety of traditional Mayan and Mexican specialities cooked with love from the open kitchen in a casual setting. Salbutes, al pastor tacos, empañadas, chile rellenos, panuchos, and chicken mole, are just a few of the options off the expansive menu. Another Corona completes this full day authentic tour before returning to your accommodations.
