MAYAN IMMERSION

Min/Max guests: 2/6 11.5 Hours Day: Monday

With this tour you take a deep dive into the Yucatan Peninsula. Start the day with having a rich local breakfast on the way. We head directly to Yal Koba where you will discover the village and its historical church. From there, we visit two beautiful cenotes. A short walk through the forest takes us to one of them. Newly refreshed, and after a short ride, we will enjoy a pib (underground oven) and gorditas in the house of Sra. Filomena where you will experience Mayan customs and gastronomy. Fortified from our lunch, we will explore the amazing remains of Ek Balam. Many say that this is the most beautiful archeological site on the peninsula. Let us know what you think. On the way back to Tulum, we make a short stop in Macario Gomez where you can shop some local handicrafts such as dreamcatchers. We will be back at the hotel at around 6:30pm with many memories to cherish.
