Ce National Geographic Day Tours vous emmène explorer le parc Tankah, sur la Riviera Maya, au Mexique. Après une séance de présentation, vous nagerez dans deux cénotes, ces piscines naturelles qui étaient jadis considérées comme des portails vers le monde souterrain maya de l'au-delà. Vous ferez du canoë au troisième cénote, puis terminerez par une baignade rafraîchissante au quatrième cénote.
Avec les conseils du guide du National Geographic, vous partirez en randonnée dans la jungle jusqu'aux cénote Cueva et celui de Piraña, prêt pour une baignade rafraîchissante. Le cénote Naval est aussi au programme, afin de vivre une aventure en canoë, puis le cénote Azul à l'eau cristalline pour profiter d'une baignade revigorante.

Vous continuerez avec la visite d'une maison maya traditionnelle pour découvrir l'abeille Melipona, qu'ils vénéraient. Sans dard, elle est élevée depuis des siècles pour son miel médicinal. Profitez d'un accès exclusif à une cuisine maya traditionnelle et participez à une démonstration de l'art de la fabrication des tortillas, où vous pourrez mettre la main à la pâte et découvrir les secrets de la "masa", une pâte de maïs. Il sera l'heure de savourer un buffet composé de plats ancrés dans le patrimoine local et mettant en valeur les découvertes et les saveurs de la journée.
L'après-midi, une balade à pied vous emmène jusqu'à un cinquième cénote, tout en en apprenant plus sur l'histoire de la découverte et de la préservation de ces sites naturels. S'étendant sur 300 hectares, les cénotes et les forêts du parc Tankah révèlent un patrimoine maya et une diversité écologique étonnante. De plus, cette visite soutient la communauté locale et promeut le tourisme durable, contribuant ainsi à la préservation de ces terres remarquables.
