Your encounter with the Maya
culture starts with a 1,500 year-old historical journey to
the ancestral city of Coba,
an archaeological site hidden deep inside the rain forest
of south-eastern Yucatan Peninsula.
Walking through these vegetation-covered ruins you will
literally feel the ancient rhythms of this once strong
Maya city-state.
Climbing the Nohoch Muul temple (the tallest pyramid of
the state), you will be able admire the pristine beauty
and immeasurable vastness of the surrounding sub-tropical
rain forest.
Your Mayan Encounter journey then leads you to an
authentic Maya village, a self-sufficient Maya community
living next to an integral part of the region's lagoon
system. You will walk you through the Maya community's
forest, learning the mysteries of their local fauna and
flora.
Your unforgettable off-track adventure tour then begins:

cenote, rappelling down into another cenote, a refreshing
swim and canoe paddling on a lagoon of enormous beauty.
All that completed with a traditional lunch prepared by
