On this National Geographic Day Tour, explore Tankah Park in Mexico's Riviera Maya. With insights from National Geographic, trek through the jungle to Cenote Cueva and Cenote Piraña for a refreshing dip. You'll also visit Cenote Naval for an adventurous canoeing session and Cenote Azul for another invigorating swim in its crystal-clear waters. These cenotes were not only sources of fresh water for the ancient Maya but were also believed to be passageways to Xibalba, the Mayan underworld, and were sites for important rituals.
Next, head over to a traditional Mayan house to learn about the Melipona bee, a stingless bee that has been cultivated for centuries for its medicinal honey. You'll then enjoy exclusive access to a traditional Mayan kitchen, taking part in a tortilla workshop and learning about authentic Mayan cooking. A buffet meal featuring local dishes brings the day's discoveries and delivers flavours rooted in heritage.
Finally, hike to a fifth cenote, learning about the discovery and preservation of these natural sites. Spanning 300 hectares, Tankah Park's cenotes and forests offer Mayan heritage and ecological diversity. This tour also supports the local community and promotes sustainable tourism, helping to preserve these remarkable lands.
