Beschreibung

Auf dieser National Geographic Day Tour entdecken Sie den Tankah Park an der Riviera Maya in Mexiko. Nach einer kurzen Erkundung schwimmen Sie in zwei Cenoten, die einst als Tore zur Unterwelt der Maya galten. Genießen Sie eine Kanufahrt in der dritten Cenote und beenden Sie die Tour mit einem erfrischenden Bad in der vierten Cenote.

Begleitet von einem National Geographic-Tourguide wandern Sie durch den Dschungel zur Cenote Cueva und zur Cenote Piraña, um ein erfrischendes Bad zu nehmen. Zudem besuchen Sie die Cenote Naval für eine abenteuerliche Kanufahrt und die Cenote Azul für ein weiteres erfrischendes Bad in ihrem kristallklaren Wasser. Diese Cenoten waren nicht nur Frischwasserquellen für die alten Maya, sondern galten auch als Durchgänge zu Xibalba, der Unterwelt der Maya, und waren Schauplätze wichtiger Rituale.

Anschließend besuchen Sie ein traditionelles Maya-Haus und erfahren mehr über die Melipona-Biene, eine stachellose Biene, die seit Jahrhunderten wegen ihres medizinischen Honigs gezüchtet wird. Genießen Sie exklusiven Zugang zu einer traditionellen Maya-Küche und nehmen Sie an einer Vorführung der Tortilla-Herstellung teil. Sie können selbst Hand anlegen und den Teig formen und die Geheimnisse des „Masa“ (Maisteig) kennenlernen. Dann genießen Sie ein Buffet mit Gerichten aus der lokalen Tradition, die die Entdeckungen und Aromen des Tages hervorheben.

Zum Abschluss wandern Sie zu einer fünften Cenote und erfahren etwas über die Entdeckung und Erhaltung dieser natürlichen Stätten. Die Cenoten und Wälder des Tankah-Parks erstrecken sich über 300 Hektar und bieten Maya-Erbe und ökologische Vielfalt. Diese Tour unterstützt zudem die örtliche Gemeinde und fördert den nachhaltigen Tourismus, um diese beeindruckenden Lebensräume zu erhalten.

Guided tour of Valladolid with Chukum cenote swim

The cool rush of freshwater as you plunge into the Chukum Cenote awaits you on this flavour-packed tour that explores the Yucatan Peninsula's colourful culture and cuisine. After arriving in the pastel-painted town of Valladolid, you'll head to a lively local market where the air is thick with fragrant spices and the stalls overflow with fresh produce. Sofia, one of our local expert guides, says “Valladolid's market isn't just a place to shop, it's where you will feel the heart of Yucatan. The stories, the flavours, the people…it all starts there.”You'll head to a traditional mill to discover the ancient art of transforming corn into masa – the base of Mexico's famous tortilla. Followed up with a stroll down the Calzada de los Frailes, one of Valladolid's most picturesque and historic streets, lined with colourful colonial houses, artisan shops, and boutique cafes. After you've worked up an appetite, it's time to get hands-on with workshops focusing on ancient Mayan cooking techniques. You'll master the art of salsa, press your own tortillas, and learn about the beloved cochinita pibil, a classic pork dish that's slow-cooked underground over hot stones. Taste the fruits of your labour as you tuck into a buffet lunch bursting with those rich traditional Yucatecan flavours. After lunch, you'll take part in a traditional Mayan ceremony before a well-earned cool-down dip in the mystical caves of the jungle cenote in Hacienda Chukum. Finish the day by delving further into the heritage with a wander through a garden to harvest a few fresh picks before visiting a thatched-roof space and traditional Mayan house, each offering a glimpse into daily life shaped by the Yucatan community.

Kids over 8 can join in on the fun too.Next, you'll head to Isla Mujeres' downtown before arriving at our exclusive beach club, where it's relaxation to a T. Think unlimited drinks from the open bar, tasty appetisers, and a delicious grill buffet. If you're in the mood for a little adventure, a guided golf cart tour will take you to the southern tip of the island – perfect for those all-important holiday pics, with rugged coastline views and a lighthouse.
