The Jungle Maya Expedition Overview

If you are looking for the complete extreme adventure in the Yucatan jungle, do not miss this thrilling adventure tour with our professional bilingual nature guides. Youll enjoy a variety of fun activities as you travel though this lush wilderness that was once home to the once-thriving ancient Mayan civilization. You will begin your adventure at the site of one of the Mayans ceremonial sites, the cenote. Cenotes are flooded caverns that are unique on the globe to this region of Mexico.

You will start this tour at the remote family ranch of San Felipe where you will enter the remarkable Nah Chiich cavern that marks the entrance point to an extensive subterranean river system known as Sac Actun. The Sac Actun stretching for over ninety-five miles is the longest known underground river on the planet. You will have the unique opportunity to go snorkeling in the crystalline water in this cenote that is known for its phenomenal rock formations including stalagmites and stalactites. Youll be amazed by the rare natural beauty of this location. Youll then climb into one of our 4x4 Unimogs for a nature safari through the jungle to our next stop where the group will enjoy a thirty minute nature hike lead by our expert naturalists. You will be astounded by the biodiversity of flora and fauna in this area. After the hike, you will have a chance to cool off in another splendid cenote, Yaxmuul, known for its rock formations. You will then hop on one of our mountain bikes for some trail riding to our canopy course where you can rappel fifty feet down to the cool water of another cenote, as well as zip high above the jungle floor on three steel cable zip lines. After soaring through the canopy at close to thirty miles an hour, you will witness a traditional Mayan ceremony. Then enjoy a fantastic lunch buffet spread with traditional local cuisine before heading back to Cancun.
