This cultural tour focuses on raising awareness of conservation programs inside the spider monkey reserve inside known as Otoch Maax yetel Coh — the house of the monkey and the puma.
Cenote Las Calaveras (Skulls cenote) is unique as it holds the world largest aquatic grave. The ancient Mayas used the cenote as a cemetery and sacred human sacrifice spot. Divers and archaeologists have discovered more than 100 human skulls and skeletons. Visitors part of this small group tour can snorkel or dive in Las Calaveras.
