Get muddy on a jungle buggy ride from Playa del Carmen, cool off in an underground cenote swim, then visit a Mayan village.

“Be prepared to speed through the jungle and get nice and dirty! It was a total blast, my 7 year old loved it.

There is an option to contribute to the community and of…”

Gas gage wasn’t working, speedometer didn’t work but the worst part was the tour guide who scammed us and running a game on our stops with his friends. Bad bad people. Do not book through Trip Advisor or Viator!!!”

The booking kiosk was located downstairs right as you get off the elevator. I believe it said Carlos and Charlie (I don’t remember, it was 8 AM). The man at the booth was very charismatic and knowledgeable. He gave us a map and marked out all the stops the tour would take. There was a jeep tour, ATV ride, a visit to the Chula’s beach club, tequila tasting, etc. We went with the ATV cenote…”

We had an awesome lunch on the beach (tacos & fajitas were awesome). We hit up a little protected cove, a gorgeous white sand beach, took a dip in a cenote, did some snorkeling, and more.
