Discover the majestic ruins of Tulum, swim in a cenote cave and snorkel in a natural ocean inlet on this five-and-a- half hour adventure tour from Cancun or Riviera Maya.
Led by a bilingual guide, you will get to explore one the Mayan's most famous archaeological sites, the walled city of Tulum. Sitting atop a small cliff overlooking the Caribbean, Tulum was the largest Mayan settlement on the coast. Afterwards, refresh yourself in the crystal clear waters of an underground river in a mystical cenote before enjoying a lunch of traditional regional cuisine. We’ll then finish the day with a guided snorkel in the calm turquoise water of Yalku lagoon, swimming among bright and colorful tropical fish and corals in a site of great natural beauty.
