Embark on a breathtaking journey through time with a full-day adventure to the mystical Maya ruins of Tulum, a stunning archaeological site perched above the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. This unforgettable tour blends culture, history, natural beauty, and relaxation, with lunch included to complete the experience.

Begin your day with comfortable round-trip transportation from your hotel. As you travel along jungle-lined roads, your expert guide will share fascinating insights into the ancient Maya civilisation and the intricate trade routes that once connected the Yucatán.

Arrive at the walled city of Tulum, one of the most picturesque and well-preserved Maya sites. Set atop coastal cliffs with sweeping views of the Caribbean, this site is rich in history and legend. Wander through the ruins on a guided tour, where you'll uncover secrets of Maya rituals, architecture, and daily life.

Next, head to the magical Cenote Nohoch, a hidden freshwater oasis surrounded by lush jungle. Take a revitalising dip in its cool, transparent waters, a peaceful contrast to the warm sea and feel the energy of this sacred natural wonder.

Recharge with a regional buffet lunch featuring authentic Yucatecan dishes and refreshing drinks, the perfect way to fuel your adventure and taste the local culture.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Scopri l'importanza del ripristino della barriera corallina di Cancun

Esplora le meraviglie del sistema corallino mesoamericano in questo esclusivo National Geographic Day Tour. In compagnia di specialisti marini, avrai l'opportunità unica di fare snorkeling, capire l'impatto che l'uomo ha sulla barriera corallina e osservare lo sbiancamento dei coralli. Assisterai anche a un discorso approfondito sulle misure attuabili per il ripristino della barriera corallina. Salpando quando le acque sono più calme, ti avventurerai verso due diverse barriere coralline, ciascuna colpita dallo sbiancamento dovuto al riscaldamento globale, all'inquinamento dell'acqua e alle microplastiche. Visita la barriera corallina conosciuta come "El Meco", che vanta i coralli più giovani, i quali la rendono un'attrazione particolarmente speciale. Le barche utilizzate per il tour sono certificate con la Bandiera Blu per il turismo sostenibile, che rende il tuo viaggio in linea con pratiche eco-consapevoli. Lungo il percorso, scoprirai anche la fauna locale e potrai concederti un delizioso pranzo a base di burrito. Il tour ti invoglierà a proteggere questi ecosistemi marini, che è l'obiettivo del progetto Pristine Seas sponsorizzato da National Geographic. Il progetto ha effettuato spedizioni al Banco Chinchorro, una parte significativa del sistema corallino mesoamericano. Questo lavoro sottolinea l'importanza di salvaguardare gli ambienti marini dall'influenza umana, proteggendo al contempo gli ultimi luoghi selvaggi dei nostri oceani. Partecipando a questo tour, apprenderai l'importanza vitale di preservare e proteggere il prezioso sistema corallino mesoamericano. Scopri di persona le meraviglie dell'oceano e acquisisci una profonda comprensione delle barriere coralline e del loro ruolo fondamentale nella biosfera.
