The experience

Tulum's ruins sit on a cliff above the Caribbean, facing the sea, and the tour starts there. A certified guide walks you through the structures and explains the history of the civilization that built them. From the ruins, the group heads inland into the jungle to a small Mayan village, where you see how the community lives today: their traditions, customs, and daily routines. The final stop is the village's cenote, a natural freshwater pool fed by underground springs, where you swim before heading back.

The vehicle is air-conditioned, and bottled water and snacks travel with the group.
