About this experience
Experience three very different sides of the Riviera Maya in one day. At Tulum, explore an ancient Mayan city built on the Caribbean coast and learn about its history, architecture, and role as an important coastal settlement.
Then, change the scenery completely at Cenote Nohoch, where you can swim in freshwater surrounded by limestone formations and the natural landscape of the Riviera Maya.
The experience ends in Akumal, where you’ll have the opportunity to snorkel and observe sea turtles in their natural habitat. The combination of an archaeological site, a freshwater cenote, and marine wildlife gives the day three distinct environments and experiences to discover.
