Itinerary

  1. Discover 5 incredible cenotes, all located inside the same private jungle property, just a few minutes away from Playa del Carmen. We first explore the mysterious and legendary Jaguar Cave and swim through four stunning crystal-clear cenotes, partially covered by ancient rock formations and jungle vegetation, naturally protected from the strongest sun and surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the forest. This is not a crowded tourist attraction; it’s a hidden natural sanctuary designed for guests who value privacy, tranquility, and genuine connection with nature. All cenotes are within walking distance of each other, allowing the experience to flow naturally through the jungle without stress, long transfers, or crowds. Our tours operate only in small groups, creating a calm, intimate atmosphere impossible to find in mass tourism excursions. Life jackets and goggles are fully included. The tour runs beautifully in all weather conditions and operates year-round.

    2.5 h

  2. To complete the experience, we take our guests to Lara y Luca international restaurant, where you can finally relax in a comfortable air-conditioned environment after the jungle adventure. This is not a simple snack stop or basic local stand: it’s a complete dining experience, fully included in the tour. Guests enjoy a freshly prepared meal with excellent food quality and generous portions, together with a drink of choice: bottled water, soft drinks, a fresh fruit water of the day, or an ice-cold beer. *Vegetarian options are always available, as well as a dedicated kids menu for younger travelers, making the experience enjoyable for everyone. Many guests mention the restaurant experience in their reviews because they understand how important a truly good meal is after an active and unforgettable day exploring cenotes. Great food, refreshing drinks, air conditioning, and a relaxed atmosphere become the perfect final touch to end the excursion in the best possible way.

About Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen is a relaxed Riviera Maya beach town with a buzzing pedestrian avenue, white sand, and cenotes, reefs and ruins close by.

Quinta Avenida, the town's long pedestrian street, runs parallel to the beach and is lined with shops, cafés, restaurants and bars that stay busy late. The beaches are wide and white, with Punta Esmeralda a local favourite for its shallow lagoon, and the water is warm and clear for much of the year.
