COBA – MAYAN ENCOUNTER (CHIMUCH)

To see the real Mexico you must leave the town and traffic far behind and join us for an expedition into the heart of the Yucatan jungle where we will show you a Mexico that most
tourists and many Mexicans never see.

You will be picked up at your hotel and taken on an historical journey that spans 1500 years of Mayan culture. Our first stop is the recently-opened ancestral city of Cobá, an archaeological site hidden deep inside the rain forest of the south-eastern Yucatan, where we
will guide you through the history that pertains to this site.

Walking through these verdant green vegetation-covered ruins one literally feels the ancient rhythms of this once strong city-state, and climbing the Nohoch Muul temple (the highest in the state) one can truly appreciate the pristine beauty and immeasurable vastness of the surrounding sub-tropical rain forest.

Leaving here we head to the authentic Mayan village of Tres Reyes, a self-sufficient community of approximately 500 indigenous people living next to an integral part of the region's lagoon system.

Together with the locals we walk through their forest, learning of the local fauna and flora, enjoy a zip-line crossing over their incredibly beautiful “Life Cenote”. Rappel 75ft down to canoe on Spider Monkey Lagoon. Afterwards, enjoy a delicious lunch prepared by the local Mayan women. Spending time with these Mayan people in the jungle and their village one is able to truly appreciate how they live and survive far from the "civilized" lifestyles that we are accustomed to.

Cobá - Mayan Encounter (Chimuch) therefore offers a great combination of history, archeology,
Nature, gastronomy and culture all in one adventure-filled day.
