A journey alternating Mayan archaeology and secret swims — the ruins of Tulum facing the Caribbean Sea, the great city of Chichén Itzá, and cenotes of almost unreal clarity, hidden beneath the jungle of the Yucatán.
The trip begins in Tulum, the only Mayan city built facing the Caribbean Sea, its ruins overlooking a white sand beach. The following days explore the region's cenotes — Dos Ojos, Gran Cenote, Ik Kil — freshwater caves of almost unreal clarity, hidden beneath dense jungle. Each cenote has its own character, between stalactites submerged in water and shafts of light filtering through a hole in the rock.
Chichén Itzá, one of the new seven wonders of the world, impresses with the precision of its Kukulcán pyramid, aligned with near-astronomical exactness. The colonial town of Valladolid, with its colourful facades and its own cenote right in the town centre, offers a more intimate counterpoint. Cobá, still half-swallowed by the jungle and explored by bike, closes the trip on a wilder note before the final stop at Sian Ka'an, a biosphere reserve where mangroves and lagoons shelter dolphins and manatees.
