Besides visiting Coba Mayan ruins you will be able to do some activities in a local Mayan community. These include, two zip lines, rappelling into a cenote, swimming in a cenote, and canoeing across a lagoon. Note: There are two communities that this tour goes to depending if you started from Cancun or Playa Del Carmen.

Rappelling into a cenote on this tour

Many people have never rappelled before but don’t worry, it is fun and easy. You will be given a harness and instructions on how to rappel. Most everyone is able to do it after learning how easy it is.

Your rope is passed through a figure eight metal loop that allows you to gently pass the rope through as you descend. You do not need to hold your bodyweight and you will not go fast.

When you arrive at the water level in this cenote, a guide will land you in a float and unclip your rope. Then you are free to swim or float around in the cenote observing this ancient sacred Mayan place.

From this cenote you have two options for going back up. The first is the rope ladder where you will have a safety line attached as you climb up. Second, you can be hoisted up in similar fashion to the rappel, just in reverse. This method requires no effort.
