“We are a couple from San Francisco California, came to Cancun for Christmas vacation. We enjoyed all the activities: horseback riding, ATV, Ziplining, and cenote. We got a lot of time on the horse riding and ATV; not a 10 minutes each like what most tours offer. There were 6 different ziplining, each with higher heights; most tours only offer one. The cenote included a slide and a zipliner about 15’ high for diving. It was my first experience diving that high without knowing how to swim. I wish that there was photography at the cenote to capture that experience.”
