The
newest addition to our family of expedition adventures
and eco-tours in the Riviera Maya. Another incredible
combination of Mayan culture, breath-taking natural
treasures, delicious Mayan gastronomical treats and
unforgettable adventure activities! Break away for
half a day and travel with us to Chikin-Ha, an exclusive,
protected natural sanctuary that is only a few minutes
drive out of Playa del Carmen.
Our
journey in Chikin-Ha begins with an easy bike ride
through the farmlands of Don Silvano where you will
enjoy the surrounding jungle scenery and learn about
local subsistence farming.
On arrival at our rest area, where we leave our bikes,
we will brief you on the adventure that lies ahead:
1)
Our 3-cenote visits:
? The first cenote or sinkhole is shaped like a huge
natural rock pool and is surrounded by lush jungle
vegetation and filled with emerald-green water. Here
you will learn about the natural aspects of cenotes
(ecosystemic functioning, fauna, flora, etc.) and
you will be able to enjoy the refreshing water by
swiming, snorkeling or just floating on one of our
big luxury inner tubes.
The
second cenote is shaped like a cavern tunnel, big
on the inside, and filled with incredible geological
formations (like stalactites and stalagmites). This
water is an incredible aquamarine-blue and here our
guides will teach you about the geological formation
of cenotes, how they have been explored, and how cave
divers work their way through them. You will also
snorkel from one side of the tunnel right through
to the other. |
