  1. Playa del Carmen

    Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico

    4 hours

    Immerse yourself into the beautiful, mystical and surrealistic Caves and Underground rivers of Playa del Carmen. The visit will alternate an exploration part where you will get to experience the true power of the underworld - which rock formations narrate the geological (and more) creation of the whole peninsula - and a refreshing swim into an out of this world natural pool with crystal clear water and crazy speleothems. This is the perfect all weather, Eco-friendly and Family oriented tour! Get ready to walk into our past to understand the present and shape our future. At the end of the visit, we will share a local and authentic meal, cooked while we are exploring. This is also part of the experience, not just any other food on a classic tour in México!
