VACATION DETAILS

Project Expedition

Culture, fun, mystery, and adventure: Tulum is the only Mayan ruin in front of the Caribbean Sea and the closest to Playa del Carmen, a perfect option for those who want to be dazzled by the incomparable scenery of Mayan culture, without traveling long distances.

Its old name, Zama, means "dawn", and to honor its name we will arrive at 9.00 am, without people and at sunrise which is the best way to visit this ancient walled city. To arrive on time our local expert will be waiting for you punctually in the lobby of your hotel or lodging at 8.15 am (consider a 45-minute drive).

Its current name, Tulum, means "between walls", so literally your guide will open the doors of these barriers to contemplate the immensity of the Caribbean Sea, where the water flashes in 7 shades of blue that you will see from the viewpoints of the citadel. This is the perfect place to take a picture and share with your friends the beauty of Mexico and its turquoise sea. Your guide will be with you as long as you need and will answer all your questions. The visit is at your own pace, no rush.

We will say goodbye to Tulum when the temperature and the number of people start to rise, around 11 am will be the perfect time to cool down in an open Cenote of crystal-clear water in the middle of the jungle. Here you will let your instinct connect with nature. You will be part of it and feel very relaxed.

And in the end, the best. Although the objective of this tour is to get to know Tulum, we have a secret for you: a cavern with an unforgettable underground river, here you must expect the unexpected. We will snorkel in the depths of the jungle to get to know its roots and mysteries, you will see unique rock formations as you slide through underground tunnels. It is an unrepeatable experience and a great adventure that you will never forget.

After a very active day, you will have the option to eat at an authentic local restaurant, this kitchen will immerse you into the flavors of the Mexican culture. Seafood or typical Mexican food, Tulum or Playa del Carmen: you choose. If you don't want to go to a restaurant, there's no problem; our goal is to get you to your hotel as soon as possible so you can continue enjoying your day.

In this tour you will feel safe and protected, especially underwater, our snorkel expert is equipped with an underwater rattle that optimizes the aquatic communication between you and him. We also carry a rescue float to assist you if you are struggling with an activity or if you just want to rest, we call it the "Taxi". If you wear glasses, don't worry, we have graduated masks when booking indicates your prescription and that's it.
