Eco Tour - Mayan Encounter
A highly trained and committed adventure travel team guarantees safe learning experiences that have been designed for anyone who wants to have fun exploring the cultural and natural environment found in Mexico.
Eco Tour: MAYAN ENCOUNTER
Your encounter with the Maya culture starts with a 1,500 year-old historical journey to the ancestral city of Cobá, an archaeological site hidden deep inside the rain forest of south-eastern Yucatan Peninsula. Walking through these vegetation-covered ruins you will literally feel the ancient rhythms of this once strong Maya city-state. Climbing the Nohoch Muul temple (the tallest pyramid of the state), you will be able admire the pristine beauty and immeasurable vastness of the surrounding sub-tropical rain forest.
Your Mayan Encounter ® journey then leads you to an authentic Maya village, a self-sufficient Maya community living next to an integral part of the region’s lagoon system. You will walk you through the Maya community’s forest, learning the mysteries of their local fauna and flora.
Your unforgettable off-track adventure tour then begins: exciting zip-line flying over an incredibly beautiful cenote, rappelling down into another cenote, a refreshing swim and canoe paddling on a lagoon of enormous beauty. All that completed with a traditional lunch prepared by the women of this Maya community. (Zipline weight limit 220 lbs.)
