The Sea - inlet Always guided by the philosophy
of enjoying nature at its best while preserving the natural environment,
we will visit a beautiful and secluded inlet called Yalkú. Located
in the coastline of the Akumal region, snorkeling in this inlet will
allow us to experience a halocline, the natural phenomenon in which
the fresh water coming from the underground rivers mixes with the ocean
waters. In addition, we will delight in watching exotic birds and marine
species for which this inlet serves as their refuge and nesting site. We will snorkel in the inlet's
clear waters surrounded by a wide variety of marine life, including
tropical fish, and if we're lucky, we'll come across sea turtles and
manta rays. In addition to the marine life,
we will enjoy the spectacle of the mangrove, an amazing ecosystem that
serves as breeding and nesting ground for hundreds of fish species,
and as the temporary home of a range of exotic migratory birds from
November to May. You will be accompanied at
all times by a professional guide. Approximate duration: 1 hr 15 min. The Cavern The emotion continues! This
time, while snorkeling inside an underground river, you will admire
hundreds of geological formations including stalactites, stalagmites,
draperies and columns, as well as some of the exotic aquatic species
that inhabit this underground marvel. Exploring an underground river
with crystal clear waters and observing the magical light effects that
the cavern produces, combined with the comfort and safety that are our
trademark will inspire you with a deep sense of awe and respect towards
nature. After this unique experience, you will understand why these
rivers and caverns were considered sacred by the Mayans. For them, they
were entrances to the underworld or xibalbá. Approximate duration: 50 min. The Cenote Experience an authentically
Mayan adrenaline rush in the middle of the exotic jungle! This third site is a breathtaking
cenote or sinkhole - an entrance to the underground rivers, also sacred
for the Mayans - with pristine and refreshing crystal-clear waters.
You will be surrounded by glamorous tropical vegetation, which will
provide you with an awe-inspiring scenery while you perform the Mayan
sacrifice jump into the cenote from one of its cliffs. You will have time to swim,
snorkel, explore, and relax in this natural sanctuary of exquisite natural
beauty. Our professional guides will accompany you at all times, and
they will share interesting stories with you about the importance of
these places for the wellbeing of the local indigenous communities.
Finally, they will let you know how you can make a difference by helping
the preservation of these natural wonders. Approximate duration: 1 hr.
