Enjoy two great adventures in one and get the perfect combination for Maya culture, nature and adventure. Your day begins exploring the only Maya archaeological site by the sea: Tulum. Tulum was occupied around 1200 AD. It is set on a cliff giving you stunning views of the Caribbean. Tulum was declared the 4th best beach in the world by National Geographic. Your guided tour will last two hours to give you ample time to get to know the Maya ruins and enjoy the fantastic views. We then take you to an authentic Maya ranch located in the heart of the surrounding sub-tropical rainforest. Your journey begins with a bike ride through the farmlands of Don Silvano, where you will enjoy the surrounding jungle scenery and learn about local Maya subsistence farming. You will arrive at an extraordinary system of Cenotes where you will be swimming and snorkeling in their crystalline waters. Then you will set out on flight over the jungle's foliage and Cenotes on a series of the most thrilling zip-lines of Mexico, with the last zip-line measuring 160 meters long! Your journey will end in the mystic dry Cenote of the legendary Aluxes where you will witness a traditional Maya purification ceremony and learn of the religious and cultural importance of the Cenotes to the Maya people.
