Many natural wonders are held by Mexican lands! How rich are its environments of diversity and exotism! Thinking of Mexico is, simply, imagining a branch of heaven and a direct pass to paradise. The whole country and, especially, the Yucatan Peninsula, have fascinating attractions that captivate travelers from around the world, enchanting them with its originality and leaving them amazed by so much perfection.

Have you ever heard of cenotes? Do you know any of them? These natural formations become the main attractions of southeastern Mexico. A cenote is a natural phenomenon that originates due to water seepage into the ground. The soils of Yucatan are mainly composed of limestone, which is very porous and allows water to flow into the interior; over time, underground caves, with clear waters and rivers that silently flow beneath the states, are formed.

Cenotes are underground caves and, to be considered as such, they must have an opening that connects them to the surface. This can be just a crack or crevice; or it can occupy the entire dimension of the waters, forming a natural pool or open-air well. The former are the youngest and, to many, the most beautiful; the latter are the oldest.

If you want to enjoy an adventure in an underground river, visit Aktun Chen. This eco-tourism park has one of the most beautiful cenotes in all of the Riviera Maya. Additionally, it is much less crowded than the others, allowing you to enjoy an exclusive connection with the natural world without having to worry about being surrounded by crowds.

This cenote is a perfect marvel! It is very young and, for this reason, has its entire dome closed; it only has a few cracks where sun rays pierce through, showing how crystal-clear and turquoise blue its waters are, illuminating the stalactites and stalagmites and adding to the beauty of this unparalleled natural spectacle. Here, you can swim and relax, snorkel, and much more.

At Aktun Chen, you can also dare to enjoy fantastic zipline circuits. How about admiring the Yucatan jungle from above and enjoying a fabulous view? You can zip through the forest at full speed while the scent of herbs enchants your senses and excitement takes over your body in an instant.

Enjoy a jungle adventure from the heights. The ziplining course has 10 canopy platforms that have been fixed onto the tallest trees in the area; in addition, there are two suspension bridges to further add adventure to your journey. This experience is perfect for all types of travelers, enjoy it with your family! Safety is top-notch, and you’ll constantly be monitored by specialized guides who’ll be there to assist you in any situation.

Enjoy a genuine connection with the Yucatan jungle, delve into deciphering Mayan mysteries, and live an unforgettable adventure in Riviera Maya!
