We all really enjoyed the tour and learning about the different animals at the sanctuary. The walking around was moderate, and we particularly enjoyed meeting Kimmie ( a white faced capuchin). We would definitely visit again.

The cenote we visited felt sacred and peaceful. Floating in there, surrounded by nature and silence, was one of the most peaceful moments I’ve had in a long time.
