Playa del Carmen Trip Overview
Combine archaeology and nature on this exciting journey deep in the Yucatan jungle. Climb atop an authentic Maya pyramid, the breathtaking Nohoch Mul. Cool off in spectacular Akumal swimming and snorkeling along sea turtles.
The Cobá archaeological zone is famous for its well-preserved and impressively tall pyramid. Best of it all—it’s one of the few Maya pyramids where you can climb atop, so grab the rope and head upwards on the steep stairs.
The physically challenging effort is rewarded with a stunning view over the vast jungle surrounding you. In addition, hear about the history of the fascinating civilization while exploring the ball court and the smaller pyramids.
Continue to pristine Akumal Beach, where you embark on a relaxing snorkeling discovery. Keep your eyes open as you are likely to spot one or more sea turtles swimming calmly in proximity of the beach.
After the great wildlife encounter, relish a delicious lunch before your comfortable ride back to your hotel.
