Aktun Chen, the best eco-park, the best experience.
An eco-park on the Riviera Maya, where you can try many activities. With professional guides, you’ll be able to take an underground walk, named by National Geographic as one of the best in the world, in an amazing cave, safely try zip lining and snorkel in a beautiful underground cenote.
At this beautiful place you can try several activities: DRY CAVE - A 600-meter tour in a dry cave (with a bilingual guide). The cave features amazing natural scenery with stalactites, stalagmites and columns, as well as high underground vaults and two open accesses to the jungle. Your guide will explain about the cave formation and the Mayans’ relationship with them.
WILDLIFE - Species from Quintana Roo. This natural zoo is unique because of its wide variety of animals, including spider monkeys, snakes, collared peccaries (wild hogs), agoutis or “sereques,” toucans, parrots, wild turkeys and many more… All of these species are part of a project aiming to breed Quintana Roo species in their natural habitat.
CANOPY - A one-kilometer circuit (10 lines and two suspension bridges). The Canopy is a zip line with platforms suspended among trees. All the lines are designed so anyone can participate in a fun, safe way, regardless of age or experience. The gear is by PETZL, the renowned French brand, with capable guides that will be with you at all times to ensure your safety.
UNDERGROUND CENOTE - Snorkel in an underground cenote. This activity will get you close to a cenote diving experience, without an oxygen tank! Snorkeling equipment is provided so you can experience exploring the cenote’s crystal-clear water and admire the stalactites and stalagmites, with underwater lighting.
