What to expect
Meet your expert bilingual guide, Bohish — one of the region’s most respected cenote explorers and wildlife conservationists. With years of experience, he will lead you safely through a breathtaking labyrinth of crystal-clear rivers, dramatic caves, and hidden chambers, sharing his deep knowledge of the geological events that shaped this unique landscape millions of years ago. Inside the cenotes, you’ll encounter a living museum of the Earth’s history: fossilized corals and marine animals, from prehistoric sharks and whales to elephants and other mammals that roamed over 10,000 years ago. Many of these fossils are perfectly preserved in calcareous rock. As you hike and swim through these ancient spaces, you may also spot authentic Mayan artifacts. Your guide will bring them to life with stories of their origins, purpose, and the rituals of the people who once inhabited this land — turning each discovery into a vivid connection to the past.
