TULUM & MAYAN UNDERWORLD - PRIVATE TOUR
Visit of the Mayan Ruins in Tulum - Caribbean Sea snorkel (inlet) – Cenote
This is a private half day tour that combines the Tulum
Ruins first - to be early there and enjoy them without the crowds and the heat!
After the historic and interesting guided tour at the archaeological site we
will go on and visit a lovely spot for snorkeling on the Mesoamerican barrier
reef and later we will go to an awesome private cenote & cave.
First of all we start the tour with the visit of the archaeolocigal site of
Tulum which are oriented to the seaside and offer a great view to the
ocean
We visit the ocean to snorkel with the vast array of Caribbean fish and there
is always the possibility to see a stingray or a sea turtle. For this
activity we visit an inlet or a bay to avoid waves and currents, making the
snorkeling safe & easy.
Cenotes are one of the most attractive characteristics of
the landscape of the Yucatan peninsula. These amazing caves are full of all
kinds of magnificent limestone formations, stalactites and columns. But it is
the fact that they are flooded with rainwater which makes them so special: the
color & clarity of the water is phenomenal, creating reflections,
light effects and a mystical feeling that you will agree is completely
unique.
Cenotes have also played a vital role in the development of
the history of the peninsula and its settlers. These natural wells were and
still are considered sacred - they provide access to the vital liquid that
gives life (water) and in traditional Mayan thought, they are also the entrance
to the Underworld.
We visit an exclusive cavern where we are able to
appreciate the different kinds of formations and learn about their process of
evolution, walking through chambers & galleries for 600 m. underground.
This is the perfect setting to learn about the significance and importance of
these caves for the people of the Yucatan peninsula. During the first part of
the cave we walk with water about 1 meter deep (3.5 ft.) Until we arrive to an
area were the ceiling of has collapsed and the natural light comes through
allowing us to swim in deeper water with natural light. This is a truly magical
and for some a spiritual journey through the Mayan Underworld.
