Plan the rest of the stay.
Tulum & Yalku
The walled Mayan city of Tulum on its cliffs above the Caribbean, a cenote swim, then snorkeling at Yalku, where fresh water meets the sea.
Cobá Express Tour
Cobá was the hub of the largest network of stone causeways in the Mayan world. This express tour gives you its temples and forest paths without committing the whole day.
Xel-Há All Inclusive
Xel-Há is a natural inlet on the Riviera Maya where snorkelers share the water with hundreds of tropical fish. The Maya named it “where the water is born.”
