This adventure is perfect for travelers who love nature and culture, with the comfort of exploring in small groups.

We begin at the Tulum Ruins, where your guide will share the fascinating history of this ancient Mayan city. Afterward, enjoy free time to explore and capture stunning photos—Tulum is the only Mayan site built on a cliff with incredible views of the Caribbean Sea.

Next, head to Akumal Bay, where your guide will take you to the best spots to swim with sea turtles in their natural habitat. Turtle sightings are guaranteed, and you'll also spot colorful fish and coral all around.

To wrap up the day, enjoy a swim in a breathtaking underground cenote. Surrounded by crystal-clear water and ancient rock formations, it’s a peaceful, almost otherworldly experience that feels like stepping back in time to the Mayan era.
