About Tulum Ruins:

There is little protection from the sun or rain while walking around the site, and temperatures are often high. Comfortable clothing and walking shoes, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and drinking water are recommended. Complimentary umbrellas are available for protection from the sun or rain when needed.

The Tulum archaeological site is relatively compact. The visit includes an approximately 45-minute guided tour of the ruins, followed by 15–20 minutes of free time to explore independently and take photos.

Tulum was one of the last cities built and inhabited by the Maya; it was at its height between the 13th and 15th centuries and managed to survive about 70 years after the Spanish began occupying Mexico. By the end of the 16th century, the site was abandoned. Tulum was abandoned as European diseases and epidemics decimated the population. Archaeologists have evidence that the population was killed off by the Spaniards when they introduced Old World diseases into the area as a way to destroy the native population.

The original name of Tulum was Zamá, which in the ancient Mayan language means "dawn”. Tulum was an important walled city that in ancient times was used as a port for an extensive commercial network since the terrestrial and maritime routes of the ancient Mayan people converged here.

About Reef Snorkelling:

While snorkeling at the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, you can expect to see a wide variety of colorful and fascinating marine life. The reef is home to over 500 species of fish.  Some of the most seen species include parrotfish, angelfish, and pufferfish, as well as a variety of colorful corals and sponges. If you are lucky, you might spot rays and turtles too. Nevertheless, if you want to be sure to swim with green sea turtles, book one of our tours to Akumal, where turtle encounters are guaranteed. Snorkeling at the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef is a truly magical experience and is a must-do for anyone visiting the region

The use of a life vest, provided by us free of charge, is mandatory during any snorkel activity.

The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef is a coral reef system located off the coast of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras. It is the second-largest coral reef system in the world after the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, and is home to a diverse array of marine life. The reef stretches for more than 1,000 miles along the eastern coast of Central America, and is a popular destination for scuba diving and snorkeling. The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef is also an important economic resource for the region, providing livelihoods for local communities through tourism and fishing

About Cenotes:

Cenotes are natural wonders found in the Yucatan Peninsula, essentially limestone caves filled with crystal-clear water. What makes them truly remarkable is their unique geological formation and the lush environment that surrounds them. In the Riviera Maya, snorkeling inside cenotes is a highly sought-after aquatic activity due to the unparalleled experience they offer.

When visiting a cenote, it is important to follow the safety instructions provided by your tour guide or the cenote's staff. This includes wearing a life jacket if you are not a strong swimmer, using provided safety equipment such as flashlights and water shoes, and not touching or disturbing any of the natural features or wildlife in the cenote.

This exclusive cenotes, nestled in the heart of the Riviera Maya, are known as Ix Balam and Yum Balam. When we first discovered these cenotes, we were captivated by the presence of both large and small jaguar footprints in the area. This remarkable sighting inspired us to name this pristine cenote region after this magnificent jaguar family.

The average water temperature of cenotes varies depending on the location and time of year. Most of the time, the water in cenotes is typically cool and refreshing, with temperatures ranging from around 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (21 to 27 degrees Celsius). In some cases, the water may be warmer or colder, depending on factors such as the depth of the cenote and the surrounding air temperature.
