An excursion you don't forget.

The excursion was great. Beautiful weather, we had Philaé as a guide. She explained the route to us very well, answered our questions, and was smiling. Dennis took wonderful photos, it makes for a great souvenir. Without forgetting Diego. We were able to see turtles, the closed cenote was great with all of Philaé's explanations.

A nice family outing

The guide was incredible, and the exploration of a cenote was as well. As for the expedition with the turtles, the area is overexploited, which meant we only saw 3 of them.
