Perfect day of active fun with history and culture.

This was the perfect tour. It combined history Abd culture with being active and having fun. The whole family loved it, including our teens. The view from the top of the Nohoch Mul Pyramid was amazing and the history our guide gave us of multiple sites there gave everything a deeper meaning. We also loves the activities in the Mayan village. Swimming in the cenote was the perfect reward after all the activities in the Mayan village. Our guide, Miguel, and driver were awesome. I hope we get to do this again. I highly recommend it.

Hidden gem

What a hidden gem! Nothing commercial, nothing fancy, just a beautiful park in a tiny Mayan community. Our guide, Marco, was so kind and gentle, and led us through the jungle where we saw dozens of spider monkeys playing in the trees. Our teens were thrilled! If you want to spend your money on a real, local enterprise, come here!

Adventure Awaits!

Miguel was a fantastic tour guide! We had such an adventurous and educational trip and really appreciated all the history he taught us. We especially enjoyed the ziplining and rappelling down into the cenote. I highly recommend this day trip!!!
