Itinerary

Day 1
Welcome to the Yucatan Peninsula

Our trip begins from Cancun International Airport. Our guides will be waiting for you at the airport. The adventure will begin immediately as we travel down the coast towards the beachside town of Akumal. Along the way, we will head off the beaten path to explore hidden Mayan ruins tucked away in the jungle. Unleash your inner Indiana Jones and explore the secrets of the Mayan civilization. Before you leave, be sure to climb the dizzying staircases of the main pyramid to get sweeping views of the jungle. On our way back, stop at the famous coastal ruins of Tulum, which are perched on a cliffside, high above the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. You can choose to relax or explore the town before our first group dinner and orientation for the week ahead!

Reviews

This was the trip of a lifetime. Absolutely unreal ecology and abundant biodiversity, with challenges daily that were so rewarding to complete. We snorkeled, canyoneered, hiked, ziplined...and had the most fresh and flavorful food for every meal. Our guides were so kind and knowledgeable and even helped us find a COVID testing location a day before we left. The two other women we met on our tour became long-time friends and we are already making plans for another trip. I would recommend Costa Rica and Beyond The Map a million times to anyone who wants a dreamy adventure vacation in the jungle! Thank you!!

The Costa Rica Immersion is a truly unique experience and allows the traveler to gain deep insight into the CR culture and lifestyle. Our guide Diego was one of the best we ever had, very knowledgable, hard-working, and caring. We loved the homestays, the meals, and day activities. We highly recommend this trip!

I had a great time and would highly recommend the Springs trip to others. It was a great group of people, good food, fun and educational. Cody and Allain are knowledgeable and ensured that we all felt comfortable and had a great experience.
