    We begin our adventure by picking up guests from their hotels, setting off on a scenic 2-hour drive to Tulum. Our first stop is the ancient Mayan city perched on a cliff with stunning views of the Mexican Caribbean Sea. A specialized bilingual guide will share fascinating insights about this archaeological site, including its historical significance and the daily life of its past inhabitants. You'll also learn about the mysteries and theories surrounding the Mayan civilization's decline during our 90-minute visit.

    After exploring Tulum, we will board the bus for a 1-hour journey to our next destination, Cobá.
  2. 1h 45m
    Next, we visit Cenote Muul Ichi Ts'ono'ot for a refreshing swim. These cenotes, unique to the Yucatan Peninsula, are natural sinkholes in limestone caves that held sacred significance for the ancient Mayans. After your swim, you'll enjoy a delicious regional buffet lunch to recharge.

    We then head to the archaeological zone of Cobá, a 45-minute journey from the cenote.
  3. Zona Arqueologica De Coba
    2h 50m
    The Mayan ruins of Cobá, mostly still hidden under jungle foliage, are the site of the tallest pyramid in Yucatán. Climb to the top for jaw-dropping views. Listen to your guide recount the discovery of this site and admire the fusion between nature and man-made structures, as well as the links of the jungle with the ruins. We will enjoy a 1-hour visit. After concluding our exploration in Cobá, we will head to Playa del Carmen, with a journey of 1 hour and 45 minutes.
  4. Playa del Carmen
    2h 50m
    In Playa del Carmen, we will spend 45 minutes exploring the vibrant 5th Avenue, a lively area teeming with nightlife, shops, and dining options. It's the perfect spot to unwind, shop for souvenirs, and enjoy a meal.

    After our visit, we will head back to the hotels, with the return journey taking a maximum of 2 hours, ensuring everyone is comfortably dropped off at their respective locations.
