Tulum and Rio Secreto Day Trip

  • 107 reviews | 1,463 travellers
    The activity is worth it, the guide we had, Diego, was excellent in his explanations, he lives what he tells us and he knows a lot about the culture and history. Thanks to the confidence he gave us, we were able to do the whole river activity knowing that two people in the group didn't know how to swim. The only complaint: the excessive price for a photo (30 USD) or if you take the package it's a hundred and something dollars. If they lowered it, they would sell a lot more, although it's your decision to buy them or not.

Tulum and Rio Secreto Day Trip

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Riviera Maya at 7 am and set off to the spectacular Mayan archaeological site of Tulum, located on a clifftop overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

At the feet of "The Castle" the most imposing building in Tulum, we'll appreciate the advanced Mayan knowledge in the fields of architecture and astronomy. This pre-Hispanic civilisation made incredible predictions based on the position of the stars. The Tulum astronomical observatory was used for the study of these stars, and we'll also take in the most important temples in the area. In some of these you can even see paintings from the period, as is the case with the Temple of the Frescoes.

Later we'll head to the natural grottoes of the Rio Secreto: an underground river invisible at first sight, which houses stalactites and stalagmites, with the water transforming them into tremendous natural monuments. With an expert guide, you'll put on your helmets and wetsuits to explore the most surprising of the hidden corners in these caves.

The tour returns to hotels in Riviera Maya at around 4 pm.
