Overview
In this adventure, we take you to Sac Aktun, located just a 25-minute drive north of Tulum. This spectacular cenote, also known as Pet Cemetery, has an oasis of incomparable beauty, speleological formations (speleothems),artificial and natural lighting. Divers are able to visit places like this one everywhere in the Yucatan Peninsula. This is the place for snorkelers. As we go through the cave, we can discover all sorts of shapes and colors and maybe spot some of the cave animals that have adapted to these conditions.
Once we finish with the cave, we continue north, towards the town of Akumal. In Akumal, also known as “the turtle bay”, we will park our car, prepare to get in the water with one of the certified snorkeling guides that help protect the turtles from being harassed. If your dream is to observe sea turtles underwater, this is the right place for you! Green Sea Turtles graze daily in this bay protected from stronger currents. Mainly juvenile turtles can be spotted, but if you are patient, other marine creatures may be seen as well such as rays, and a variety of tropical fish.
We will then head to sample typical Mexican “antojitos” for lunch.
