Splash into jungle cenotes and underground rivers on this snorkeling excursion to 3 extraordinary Mexican ecosystems. As you swim, splash, and snorkel, you can also learn about the fascinating history of the ancient Maya who once called this beautiful region home.

After being picked up from your hotel, head to the coast—the white sand beaches of the Riviera Maya are among the most beautiful in the world. Spend some time in the balmy waters of the Yal Ku Lagoon, an ocean inlet in Akumal, riding the gentle waves and watching for the turtles and other vibrant sea creatures that swim below the surface. Next, head inland to one of the region's incredible cenotes. These freshwater sinkholes are carved out of the limestone, creating luminous caverns filled by the underground river that flows through the Yucatan Peninsula. Listen as your guide tells you about the spiritual significance of the cenotes for the ancient Maya—some of them were held to be sacred, and were even used in various rituals.

Leap from a platform, snorkel in the cool waters, and then take a break for lunch. Enjoy a delicious buffet of chicken, rice, salads, and desserts, then make your way back to the pools for a last encounter with the flora and fauna of these unique ecosystems before you return to your hotel.
