Sharing My Unforgettable Experience In Muyil And Sian Ka'an

I have explored mangroves, lagoons, cenote and Mayan ruins in just an all-in-one tour. A tour to Muyil and Sian Ka'an which is located under Tulum is offered by Duende Tours. Please keep reading to discover what this place has to offer.

Enjoy Diving And Snorkeling In The Refreshing Waters Of The Gran Cenote

As a matter of fact, the Gran Cenote is amongst the most popular areas for diving and snorkeling in the Riviera Maya. Duende tours will take you in this cenote for a refreshing swim and will also provide the snorkel equipment. Discover the amazing marine life and snorkel inside this huge cave system. There are different varieties of small fish and in case you are lucky you can find a freshwater turtle whilst you're swimming between the massive stalagmites and stalactites. In this location you'll also find different varieties of avian species. One of the special birds that you can find is the 'Motmot'. This bird flies very fast and it is very hard to find. It's a typical bird of this location and it's brown with a blue tail.

Explore Lagoons, Savanna In Sian Ka'an Boat Tours

The region of Sian Ka'an was inhabited by the Mayan people in the past. In Maya language, Sian Ka'an means 'Origin of the sky'. Apart from having savanna, lagoons and mangroves, the place is rich in marine life, flora and fauna.

This trip offers you a fantastic boat tour of 45 minutes over the lagoons, funny floating through the intense current canals and an educational hike back through the wetlands.

Visit Muyil And Explore The Ancient Mayan World

An archeological Mayan site, Muyil is surrounded by thick jungle, lagoons and ocean. This long lost Mayan city is considered the biggest Mayan site in the biosphere reserve 'Sian Ka'an'. During the past it was amongst the most vital trade cities of the Caribbean.

In this tour provided by Duende Tours, you will have the chance to visit the place and learn a lot of the history of the Mayas and its present. Aside from this you are going to enjoy the spectacular surrounding nature.

What This Tour Offers

There are many activities offered by this tour. The activities are very interesting for everybody even if they are physically easy. Snorkeling and swimming in a cenote, floating through the waterways and visiting an old Mayan city is an excellent fusion for a day tour. Aside from this we had a great guide, what made this tour excellent. Because the guide spoke several languages, everybody was able to get the information the deserved. In summary, I can say that this tour and its different activities make a perfect combination of the interesting history of the Mayan with the natural charm and beauty of the 'Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve'. I got one word to describe this tour - Buenisimo!

If you like traveling the Yucatan Peninsula and enjoy adventure trips be sure to go to Mayan Ruins for info on touring Guatemala, Mexico and Belize. You can also see the Birding Tours.
