About this experience
Jump in and float along on a guided tour in the brisk waters of ancient Mayan cenotes. Cenotes are natural sinkholes that expose groundwater underneath. Navigate through breathtaking caves and caverns and discover the ancient rock formations up close! Next, snorkel through a fantastic inlet where saltwater and freshwater mix creating the ideal habitat for a multitude of sea life.
The water is so calm you will want to jump right in and swim over the submerged rock formations that are home to hundreds of exotic tropical fish. Watch for blue tangs, triggerfish and much more! Yalku is a remarkable treasure of the Riviera Maya!
