Itinerary

Zona Arqueologica De Coba

2 hours Admission included

After hotel pickup in Tulum, you’re whisked away by private vehicle to Coba, meaning ‘water stirred by wind’ in the Mayan language. Take a personalized tour of this ancient urban center surrounded by rainforest, lakes, and cenotes. Walk under the trees and observe birds and other wildlife. View the temples of one of the most impressive Maya archaeological sites and, if you feel more adventurous, climb the tallest pyramid in the Yucatán Peninsula: Nohoch Muul. A view from the jungle canopy will be your reward.
Tulum

one hour Admission included

Next, you’re driven to the Tulum ruins, perched above a white-sand beach on the Mexican Caribbean. Stroll the restored grounds with your guide and learn the significance of structures such as El Castillo.
Stop 3

3 hours Admission not included

After a buffet lunch (not included) is served, participate in a shaman-led Maya ritual in a temazcal, a sweat lodge that is considered a source of health and energy. After a cleansing ceremony, you will enter the temazcal and feel the heat of the volcanic rock glowing in the darkness. The aroma of herbs and copal allow you to feel at ease, purify the body, and create space to rid the spirit of negative energy.

Using mud, honey, aloe vera, and refreshing teas, as well as songs and musical instruments, the temazcalero guides you through four intervals of increasing and decreasing heat by opening the door of the temazcal, allowing you to experience its curative powers.

Following your 1.5-hour session, take a cold plunge and bite into fresh fruit, then relax on the return to your hotel.
