This was truly an amazing and unforgetable experience! We enjoyed a day filled with cultural and environental activities starting esrly with a tour of the Mayan city Coba. The ruins wete impressive. Then we were off to the Chichikan cenote, which was a natural beauty. Thecswam in the crystal clear water and it felt like another world. After this we had a delicous Mexican style lunch buffet. Next stop was the Mayan city of Chichen Itza. Truly incredible! Our guide, Ramiro, was excellent with his knowledge of the Mayan culture, and helped our group learn so much about this amazing civilization! We ended the day visiting the beautiful Spanish colonial city of Valladoid. In all we were treated to a dsy my 20 year old son and I will never forget. Thank you, to our wonderful guide, Ramiro, and our driver for making this such an unforgetable experience! Highly recommmend this adventure tour!
