Rio Secreto From Riviera Maya Overview

If you are interested in exploring the strange and wonderful subterranean world beneath the lush jungle of the Yucatan, this adventure tour to discover the Secret River, Rio Secreto, where an underground river has carved an underground cavern out of the ancient limestone, is for you. This amazing site is home to wondrous rock structures formed by the constant movement of fresh water by an immense subterranean tributary. This unusual river system has created an elaborate system of caverns, grottoes, and cenotes throughout the Yucatan region. You will not see these kinds of geological formations anywhere else on the planet. Your highly-qualified guides will accompany you on fantastic expedition into the cave system, where you can see a surprisingly beautiful space filled with mind-blowing rock formations including ample stalagmites, stalactites and helectites. Your bilingual adventure staff will direct you and your group of six total participants on a swimming and hiking tour travelling more than five football fields underground. Our well-trained guides have the required experience to make sure every participant enjoys a safe excursion.

Our staff will equip you with all of the requisite paraphernalia for you to successfully explore Rio Secreto, including a wet-suit, life jacket, specialized shoes, as well as a helmet equipped with a head-light. Outfitted in this gear, you will feel like a seasoned spelunker. Rio Secreto has an above-ground compound with locker rooms with restroom facilities, showers, and free use of towels. Our service-oriented staff will also provide a scrumptious lunch buffet.

This tour from Playa Del Carmen or Riviera Maya includes round-trip travel in an air-conditioned van.
