PAC-CHEN ADVENTURE & ROOTS
Our adventure begins with an exciting canoe ride,
where we can paddle through the lagoon and
mangroves enjoying the view of the jungle that is
on the other side of the community.
We will continue with a guided walk through the jungle, spotting different species of plants and animals, especially birds, on our way to the platforms overlooking the lagoon and the cenote. There, we’ll ride two ziplines that cross above the water and through the trees, adding a fun dose of adventure to the day.
Then we continue the walk to reach Cenote Jaguar,
where we will descend by doing a simple rappel to
the depths of the Mayan underworld.
Finally, at the end of the activities, a delicious
menu of regional food awaits us, prepared by the
community with local ingredients such as corn,
beans and chiles. It's always fresh and delicious.
