Activities
Here all the activities that are included on this excursion.
#1 Tierra Lu’um Cenote – Rappel into a Cavern
This is when the fun starts. We started our morning rappelling into a Mayan cavern which are some of the youngest cenotes used by the Mayans for ceremonies. The only way to access this underground treasure is by rappelling. This activity is for people looking for an adventure in nature.
You can rappel the boring way like me.
Or you can be adventurous and do it upside down like my husband.
Insider Tip: All of the pictures with logos on the top were taken by the photographer.
Once everyone is in the cavern, you are permitted to swim and jump off the rocks.
This is your chance to jump straight into crystal clear blue water.
Insider Tip: Life jackets are provided on this tour. A life vest is required during all of your activities.
#2 Li-‘K Cenote – Zip-lining and Cliff Diving
This is your chance to be a kid and zip line until your heart is content. This is an open cenote and one of the oldest. When you splash into the water, this is your opportunity to enjoy the underwater garden before hopping back on the zip-line to do it all over again. It never gets old.
There are several ways you can zip-line into the refreshing cenotes.
Superman!
And…of course, you can jump! Why not, you are on vacation?
After you have completed a few activities, it’s time for lunch. Yes, this lunch is included with your tour. You are able to build your own dream sandwich, which will go perfect with your authentic Mexican soup. Delish!
#3 Há Cenote – Swimming & Kayaking
In order to kayak, you must swim though the cave into a hidden cenote. The water is several shades of blue-green and I like to use the word “refreshing” when talking about cenotes. Hint hint! However, the colors of the cenotes is absolutely breathtaking and totally worth it. You are given snorkel gear during this activity, so you can take in the crystal clear waters.
Next, you get to kayak the cenote through highwalls covered in nature.
#4 Ancient Cenote – Waterslides, Zip-lines and Cliff Diving in Cenote
This is your chance to do it all. Play hard and relax in the middle of nature. You can’t get anything better then this! This cenote was an important source of water for the Mayan Indians. The Mayans believed cenotes were the entrance to the underground world. Now, it’s the entrance to our all natural playground.
