Highlights

What Sets This Tour Apart Escape the crowds and dive deep into the real Yucatán on this private, off-the-beaten-path adventure that blends history, nature, and living Maya culture. Unlike typical tours, this experience is fully guided and personalized, starting with a bike or tricycle ride through the majestic Coba Ruins—including the chance to climb the region’s tallest ancient pyramid. Next, head into the jungle at Punta Laguna for a hands-on adventure: rappel into a cenote, paddle a canoe across the lagoon, and hike into the forest to observe wild spider monkeys in their natural habitat. The journey continues with a rare visit to a remote Maya community where you’ll be welcomed with a simple homemade lunch, a sacred cleansing ritual by a local shaman, and the chance to explore traditions like Melipona beekeeping, natural medicine, and artisan crafts.

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.
