Description
Adventure, Nature, and Culture: A Journey Through the Heart of the Mayan World
Embark on a private journey where adventure meets a deep connection with nature and Mayan culture. With full control of your time and personal attention from expert guides, this experience promises an intimate exploration of Mexico’s rich heritage.
Imagine biking through an ancient Mayan city hidden in the jungle. Cobá invites you to explore its temples, ruins, ball courts, and observatories, all surrounded by lush greenery. This is history and nature at its finest.
Next, we visit the natural reserve of Otoch Maax Yetel Ko, also known as Punta Laguna, a sanctuary for wildlife and the community that protects it. Before entering, a Mayan shaman will lead a ritual ceremony, cleansing you with copal and chanting to the four winds to seek the forest spirits’ permission and blessings. The ceremony sets the tone for what can only be described as a magical adventure.
Once inside, trek through the jungle with local guides as you search for wildlife like spider monkeys, howler monkeys, and even elusive jaguars. You can also kayak across the lagoon, zipline through the treetops, and take a refreshing swim in a nearby cenote.
The day concludes with a visit to a local Mayan family’s “farm-to-table” project. Enjoy traditional dishes made from ingredients freshly harvested from their garden, while connecting with the family and learning about their way of life.
This tour is not just an adventure; it’s an authentic and meaningful encounter with the soul of the Mayan land.

Super great experience, very friendly staff that were there to help me book every step of the way. Also excellent diving experience once we got on the water.

Gluup is a fantastic team you can trust with your dives. I've done over six dives with them, and they always have the best instructors and guides. Highly recommend them! 👌

I took the snorkeling tour in Cabo Pulmo. The guides were very attentive, explaining everything and providing all the necessary equipment. The park is also beautiful. Gluup also provided excellent communication and ensured everything went smoothly.
