About this experience
This activity stands out because it is not “just another tour”: it is a complete route through the heart of the Mayan jungle, with culture, adventure and real connection in one day. You start in Coba, walking through the jungle and up the main pyramid for a brutal view of the endless green. Then, you change the noise into silence: hiking in the Mayan area, natural paths and landscapes that feel authentic, until you reach a cenote to swim and recharge energy. The most special part comes in the water: kayaking in canals and lagoons within the jungle, an intimate and different route, away from the saturated routes. To close, a Mayan ceremony that gives meaning to everything: tradition, respect and an experience that is lived, is not only taken in photos. It includes perfect moments for photos, thoughtful times and close attention from the guide.
