Yucatreks tours are designed to give you a fun day of culture, history and
natural wonders. What kind of tours are these you ask? Basically,
we do tours for people who don’t do tours! Look at us as your
friends, who live here, taking you out on a great day of fun and
adventure!
Yucatreks tours are exclusive,
we only take small groups (on average 12 or less, maximum 16 people)
and the tours fill up pretty fast. This means that if you are interested,
you should book as soon as possible. Wait too long and you may miss
out!
Yucatreks tours are a whole different experience
than the 'cattle' tours - it's more like if a friend showed
you around.
We make them special by taking you to some places where other
tours don't go, and we add a lot of local knowledge and flavor to the day.
Our tours
are designed to be quite different, so if you'd like to go on
two (or all) of them, you will not have any repeats.
More elaborate
itineraries can be found via the following links to individual
tour pages.
WHICH TOUR SHOULD I CHOOSE?
The Sea
to Cenote tour is a
very exclusive experience. You'll visit an underground
cavern and river system in pristine condition deep in the Yucatan
jungle.
We’ll
start by zip lining into one of its huge dry
caverns! We’ll
walk through this massive underground cavern,
decorated with awesome limestone columns, stalagtites and stalagmites and
exit out of another giant hole in the jungle! You will snorkel
a breathtaking cenote and its water filled passages, guided
by your professional
guide. It is a truly unique experience and this is only the morning!
After a tasty bar-b-q lunch, Mayan style, we leave this
jungle sanctuary and head to beautiful Tankah Bay for
some more snorkel fun! Here we will snorkel the famous Cenote Manatee,
in its beautiful mangrove surroundings, and
off the beach around the “ojo de agua or
water eye”, where its river system empties into
the sea.
The Coba
Treasures tour invites you to explore what was one of the largest
ancient Mayan Cities in the Mayan world. The visit to Coba is the main
object to this tour, and we will spend over 2 hours at the site. You
will be guided through the shady paths of this site with an estimated 6,5oo ruins hidden by 500 years of jungle growth. Here you'll have
the opportunity to climb, Nohoch Mul, the tallest Mayan pyramid
in Mexico (the tallest is in Tikal, Guatemala). The cave/cenote we visit
in the afternoon is truly spectacular. A traditional Yucatecan
meal follows and a visit to a handicraft shop owned by a delightful family
in one of Mayan villages on the way back. You should choose this
tour if you're extra interested in learning more about the Maya and
if you want to visit a wild, largely un-excavated ruined city in
the middle of the jungle.
The Tulum
and Beyond excursion is a one of a kind day filled with adventure!
The incredible view of El Castillo perched atop a cliff overlooking
the Caribbean, is a must see in everyone’s visit to the Riviera
Maya! We explore the ruins of Tulum, swim or snorkel in two of
the area’s most beautiful cenotes, including Grand Cenote, and enjoy a tasty picnic lunch on a secluded stretch
of breathtaking beach - kind of a “best of” tour for
the Mayan Riviera. Tulum is a great archaeological
site to visit,
but is not the main focus of the tour - just a part of it. This
tour is a perfect mix of stops guaranteed to give you some of the
best the area has to offer!
The Chichen Itza/Valladolid excursion
gives you a chance to see what just may be one of the most
fascinating archaeological sites in the world! Chichen
Itza was declared on July 7, 2007 as one of the New Seven
Ancient Wonders of the World.
It is home to the famous Pyramid of Kukulcan,
the Temple
of 1000 Columns and the largest most impressive ballcourt ever
found in Mesoamerica! After our visit to the ruins, we will stop
for a swim at one of the areas spectacular cenotes.
We end our day with a tempting selection of local cuisine next
to the zocalo, or town center, in the beautiful colonial town
of Valladolid. |
