We arrived early, avoiding the larger crowds arriving in buses. This is a very popular tourist attraction, and gets extremely busy!
This was a great way to start our day of outdoor adventure. It was then off to our second stop at the eco-reserve known as; Tankah.

Enjoying zip lining at Tankah
Tankah is an ecological nature reserve situated inland in the Yucatan Peninsula. It’s approximately half an hour driving time from; Tulum. This area was once a part of an ancient Mayan city many years ago.
A beautiful reserve with a few villagers still living in the park who maintain, and treat you to a traditional outdoor lunch. Again, we were the lucky ones, arriving with no one else on the reserve during our stay.
It was a beautiful and peaceful setting, where we enjoyed; zip lining, canoeing and a swim, in an open fresh water cenote.
All to ourselves, which made this private group tour even more appealing!

After enjoying a superb lunch and short break, it was time to make our way back to Tulum. We were off to the famous archaeological site of the; Tulum Ruins.
This site is known for being one of the most beautiful Mayan cities in the Yucatan, situated along the shores of the beautiful Caribbean Sea.
Tulum Ancient City Ruins
Our guide {Luis}, led us on an informative walking tour of the Ruins, offering detailed information on the history of the site and its people inhabiting the city, during that time.
A wonderful tour that should not be missed, when visiting the Yucatan Peninsula.

A great way to end a wonderful day and tour with Mayans’ Adventures. This Cool Tour is one the entire family will enjoy, and I simply cannot stress enough, the advantage of taking a private small group tour, compared to the larger big bus tours.
