Editorial Summary

The creators document a day trip from Progreso, Mexico, featuring an excursion that combines ATV riding, swimming in an underground cenote, and a traditional Mayan lunch. After a van ride to the destination, the group splits into two segments to manage the number of available ATVs. The creators participate in the group that swims first, describing the underground cenote as having clear water with stalactites and a temperature between 75 and 80 degrees. They follow the swim with a bumpy, forty-five minute ATV ride through the jungle. The excursion concludes with an authentic Mayan lunch consisting of handmade corn tortillas, tacos, and empanadas. Additionally, the group visits a historical site to observe a demonstration of traditional rope making using local wood. The creators conclude their day by returning to the ship to enjoy the sunset, visiting the flip flop bar, and dining at the buffet, which they praise for its flavor and variety.

Creator's Key Takeaways

this is a great experience so there's other excursions that have more Cotes but we chose this one because of the ATV and the Cenote and it's less of a drive than some of the others

that was super freaking cool I mean I've done cenotes before but never underground cenotes that was awesome

my one tip would be that if you're going to do this excursion ask to do the ATVs first and the Cenote second

the food has surprisingly been very delicious this whole trip I've enjoyed the food even buffet food

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask to do the ATVs first and the Cenote second to avoid riding wet
Use the bathroom before the bus ride as there are no bathrooms on the van
Be careful on the steep stairs going down to the Cenote
