Overview

Join Alex in Tulum for an exclusive trip that will transform your perception of the Riviera Maya. This 100% private adventure, designed only for your group, combines the magic of history, natural wonders and authentic Yucatecan culture.

Start by exploring the iconic archaeological site of Tulum. Perched on the stunning Caribbean Sea, these ancient Mayan ruins come to life. With Alejandro, your native Yucatan guide, you will discover the mysteries of each structure at your own pace, away from the crowds, uncovering secrets that only a local can share.

Then immerse yourself in the crystal clear waters of a magical cenote. The choice is yours! Opt for the mystical adventure of an underground cavern (Sac Actun or Nohoch) or the serenity of an open cenote. It will be the perfect oasis to cool off and connect with the unrivalled natural beauty of the peninsula.

Complete the day with a comfortable and comfortable return home in modern vehicles.
