About your trip

A Cenote Adventure in the Heart of the Yucatán

Dive into the Yucatáns deep cenotes during Mexico's biggest holiday: Day of the Dead. 

Staying in a cozy shared villa in the colonial city of Mérida, you’ll experience the culture and food while also adventuring to the jungle to dive in these stunning cenotes—sacred sinkholes where history and nature collide.

The dives are nothing short of extraordinary. The Cenotes are much different from tulum, these sink holes are larger, and often with more sunlight and artifacts like bones and pottery. Imagine if the Pit and Angelita amplified. Crystal-clear waters, ethereal sunrays cutting through the cave openings, and ancient Mayan bones and artifacts resting beneath you in the deep. It’s an experience that blends adrenaline with awe, uncovering the secrets of the past.

After a morning of adventure, savor a traditional Mayan village lunch, filled with authentic flavors from the jungle. Evenings are spent in Mérida, where the streets come alive with the vibrant spirit of Día de Muertos—colorful altars, music, and delicious local dinners. To top it off you'll visit Uxmal, mayan ruins more beautiful than Chichen itza.

This trip is more than just diving—it’s a journey into the heart of ancient rituals, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable cultural moments.

Cenote diving

Each day enjoy 2 dives to some of the most unique cenotes around the Yucatan. Quite literally, you're gonna see them all. Witness epic light beams, and ancient bones, evidence of life that existed before our time. Stop for a local mayan lunch made by the villagers who live in close proximity to the cenotes for the most cultural part of the day. 

Day 4 Dia de los Muertos

Day 4 Dia de los Muertos image

Mexicos biggest cultural holiday

The Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos in spanish) Is a day to honor and remember loved ones who have passed away. It's not meant to be a sad day, the focus is on celebrating their lives where families share stories, music and food, decorating the streets and alters they make with bright colors. It's a way to feel close to them and keep their memory alive with love and happiness. 

We will venture to the city center to witness the parades and festivals with people dressed as skeletons and perform traditional dances and music. 

Day 6

Last dive and Trip to the Uxmal Ruins

After our last dive of the trip, we will finish the day off with a peak into history of the Mayan people and their ancient city of Uxmal. Similar to the famous Chichen Itza, this is the lesser known archeological site holding the same if not more beautiful ruins.
