Overview

The Ancestral Waters is a mystic & unique experience led by locals from Chemuyil. someone born and raised in this jungle. From the beginning, you are along with one of us, someone who explored these cenotes long before they were shown. You will visit three breathtaking cave cenotes, including one of the most extraordinary in all of Quintana Roo. You will enjoy some of the best cave snorkeling in Tulum, surrounded by ancient formations shaped by time. Inside these caves, we create moments designed for reflection and connection. As you explore these ancient chambers, these landscapes open your imagination to the past. Memories of when these were once dry, or when the Mayans visited them for connection. This intimate journey, guided with care by locals, offers a deep and authentic connection to nature, to the stories of the land, and to the timeless beauty that surrounds every step on your path.

Bejil-Ha Riviera Maya

Once we reach the first stop, we descend into Uj, a cenote filled with stalactites, stalagmites, and ancient rock formations. There, we’ll get to its complement: Kiin, a cenote beautifully lit by sunlight. If lucky, we may spot the toh bird, a regional symbol of cenotes. After exploring, we’ll walk back to the majestic Templo Mayor. This cave, considered one of the most spectacular cenotes in the Yucatan Peninsula, will transport you into a surreal scenario. Swimming here feels unbelievable.And finally, we return to the village to enjoy a delicious home cooked meal, prepared by ladies from Chemuyil.
