Moderate Activity
Includes snack
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
WHAT YOU VISIT
- Rio Secreto Nature Reserve
Also known as Secret River, the region's most unique natural treasure is an amazing series of caverns connected by underground waterways, with limestone and quartz stalactites and stalagmites lining the route. Once used by ancient Mayans for sacred rituals and ceremonies, the area is acclaimed as a NAT GEO Top 10 Family Activity and EarthCheck Gold certified for its good sustainable practices.
During this expedition, you'll walk, wade and swim through the rugged .37-mile-long route (600 meters). After you're outfitted in wetsuits, water shoes and helmets with headlamps, your expert guide will outline the cultural and natural importance of this underground world as you enter the caverns and marvel at this magical subterranean place that went unexplored for millions of years!
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
For millions of years, Secret River has decorated itself drip by drip. Moisture, minerals and time have turned droplets of water into works of art.
SNACK
After your cave snorkel, you'll be served a mexican regional buffet.
SHOPPING
Enjoy free time in Playa del Carmen to shop or grab a bite to eat, depending on the ferry schedule.
