Rio Secreto + Coba Mayan Ruins

Your adventure begins at the archaeological site of Cobá, where you'll explore the remnants of one of the most significant Maya cities. Surrounded by jungle, this site is home to Nohoch Mul, the tallest pyramid in the Yucatán Peninsula, which offers panoramic views to those

who climb its steps. Walking or biking through these ancient grounds gives you a deep sense of connection with a civilization that thrived centuries ago.

After your cultural exploration, the journey continues underground at Río Secreto, an extraordinary natural wonder near Playa del Carmen. Unlike any other cenote tour in the Riviera Maya, the Río Secreto tour invites you to travel through a mystical underground river

system shaped by millions of years of geological activity.

Here, you’ll hike and swim along a nearly 1-kilometer route filled with thousands of crystal formations—stalactites, stalagmites, and shimmering walls of minerals that act as a living museum of the Earth’s history. As you descend into the caves, you’ll leave behind the noise

of the world and enter a place of pure silence and spiritual calm—believed by the ancient Maya to be the entrance to Xibalbá, the sacred underworld.

What truly sets Río Secreto apart from other cenote experiences is its scale, preservation, and immersive storytelling. This is not a touristy swimming hole—it’s a fully guided ecological and cultural journey. You’ll be equipped with all necessary gear, including a wetsuit, life

jacket, helmet with headlamp, and towels. Knowledgeable local guides provide insights into the geological and cultural significance of the reserve, enriching your appreciation of this hidden gem.

By the end of your tour, you’ll not only have explored two of the Riviera Maya’s most fascinating destinations—you’ll also walk away with a deeper understanding of our planet’s natural history and the spiritual beliefs of the ancient Maya.
