Overview

This tour is truly one-of-a-kind, combining the thrill of underground exploration with an immersive cultural experience in the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula. Unlike other cave tours, Río Secreto grants you access to the longest semi-flooded cave system in the region, where only a small fraction of its 100-hectare reserve is open to visitors—ensuring an exclusive and pristine adventure. Led by expert guides, you’ll walk and swim through crystal-clear waters beneath ancient rock formations that have shaped the Earth’s history. A Mayan purification ceremony sets the tone for this mystical journey, making it perfect for adventure seekers, nature lovers, and culture enthusiasts alike. After your underground expedition, celebrate with a toast of Xtabentún and enjoy a delicious buffet, rounding out an experience that is as unforgettable as it is transformative.

    Discover the longest semi-flooded cave in the Yucatán Peninsula, a hidden gem within a 100-hectare nature reserve—of which only 10% is used for tourism, ensuring minimal impact and a truly immersive experience. After a welcome video, a short 15-minute transfer takes you deep into the Río Secreto Reserve. Here, expert guides equip you with the necessary gear and provide a safety briefing before leading you on a scenic jungle walk, where a traditional Mayan welcome sets the tone for your journey. Step into an underground wonderland, where you’ll wade and swim through crystalline waters, surrounded by stunning stalactites and stalagmites, in a mesmerizing 800-meter route lasting approximately 1.5 hours. After emerging from this breathtaking subterranean world, enjoy a celebratory toast with Xtabentún, a traditional Mayan liqueur, followed by a viewing of your tour photographs. Complete your experience with a delicious buffet lunch before returning back to your hotel.
