The adventure could not start better: Swimming with the imposing whale shark. These fish, more than 12 meters long, go in search of warm waters and the great source of food (plankton) provided by the huge coral bar located off the coast of the Riviera Maya.
These incredible giants are totally harmless to man, and we appreciate his nobility by interfering as little as possible in his habitat.

You will climb the highest pyramid located in the ancient city of Cobá (in Mayan it means “murky water”) where you can also admire two ball games (the ball game was called by the Mayans “Pok ta Pok”, because of the noise that made the rubber ball when it was hit by the hips of the players), the Cathedral and the aforementioned Nohoch Mul Pyramid (42 meters high pyramid still open to the public for climbing and take amazing pictures right at the top) and other impressive structures.

The image looks like a perfect postcard: a beautiful beach of fine white sand and turquoise waters, crowned by a wonderful and ancient Maya building built on a cliff.
That image can be lived on the ninth day of this unique tour. The visit to the archaeological site of Tulum will be early, to avoid the agglomeration of visitors.
Tulum, formerly called Zamá (“dawn” in Maya), was founded in the 4th century A.D. and its construction was based on the cosmological knowledge that the Mayan people had, therefore, on the concept of “the four corners” that refers to the four cardinal points, and which in turn arises from the ancient cosmic pattern of the Five Points.
The city as a quadrilateral represented an orderly, rational world, made for gods and men alike. In each corner or entrance, balames (protective mythological fields and crops, which are shaped like Jaguars), guards or guardians of the town were installed.
You will have free time to enjoy the beach, its warm waters and capture with your camera the unique images of this wonderful place, before making the transfer to your hotel in Cancun.
Overnight will be at the hotel El Rey del Caribe (or similar).
