About the experience.
The day begins at Tulum, a pre-Columbian walled city built on high cliffs that fall to the sea. A bilingual guide walks you through the ruins before the drive to a freshwater cenote, where you swim through caverns among the rock formations.
Next comes Yalku, a lagoon where salt water and fresh water mix and fish gather among the rocks. The afternoon ends on the sand with lunch at a beach club, before the air-conditioned van takes you back to Cancún or Playa del Carmen.
