What to expect
Akumal, or 'place of the turtles'
This is the translation from the Mayan language of the bay where the green sea turtles of the Tortuga verde species dwell. In this picturesque place, you will spend time snorkeling, swimming in the azure waters of the harbor, and relaxing on the beach with soft white sand. During the underwater journey, besides the turtles themselves, you will see a variety of tropical fish, corals of all kinds, and fully appreciate the richness of the world's second largest coral reef. During snorkeling, you will be accompanied by a specialist who will help you not to miss the most interesting and beautiful episodes of the Caribbean underwater life.
Tankah Ecological Park - immerse yourself in the Mayan village
Here you will encounter not as many travelers as in other popular places in the Yucatan, so the beauty and authenticity of the park will be presented in the most natural way. You will visit a Mayan village and get acquainted with the carefully preserved traditions of life and culture of the people. You will visit three cenotes, listen to ancient sacred legends, and if desired - bathe in magical water reservoirs and paddle on a canoe. In addition, on the complex's territory, you can jump from a Tarzan swing and fly on zip lines.
🥘 The program also includes a real Mayan lunch and a tasting of organic tequila.
