Explore the Mayan underworld
Located an hour’s drive south of Cancún, the underground river and cave attraction Río Secreto is arguably among the most unique adventures in Latin America. Visitors descend 25 meters (80 feet) below the surface through a system of caverns to reach ‘the secret river’, believed by Mayans to be the underworld where the souls of the dead resided. After donning shoes and a lantern helmet, visitors are escorted by a guide on a tour through the incredible sights that include stalactites and stalagmites along the beautiful river.
