YUCATAN
CENOTE EXPEDITION
February 25 - March 5, 2026
Yucatán is a one-of-a-kind destination where nature and culture come together. Its crystal-clear cenotes, once sacred to the ancient Maya, offer a unique freediving experience that connects you with both history and the natural world. Here, every dive is more than just exploration—it’s a direct encounter with the region’s rich past and stunning landscapes.
ITINERARY
Discover a different side of Mexico, away from the crowded tourist spots, surrounded by the nature and ancient culture of the Yucatán Peninsula. Over nine days, you'll explore breathtaking cenotes, charming colonial cities, and some of the region’s most iconic archaeological sites.
DAY 1 – ARRIVAL TO CANCUN & PUERTO MORELOS
The adventure starts in Cancun, where you'll meet our team and the rest of the group. From there, a private transfer will take us to Puerto Morelos, a peaceful fishing village on the Caribbean coast. We'll spend our first night here, getting ready body and mind for the journey ahead.
DAY 2 – Cenotes Route & VALLADOLID
After breakfast, we’ll visit two cenotes along the famous Ruta de los Cenotes, a jungle-covered area filled with caves and underground pools. In the afternoon, we’ll head to Valladolid, one of Yucatán’s most picturesque colonial cities. We'll spend five nights here, exploring its laid-back atmosphere, colourful streets, artisan markets, and local cuisine.
DAYS 3-6 – YOGA, FREEDIVING & CHICHÉN ITZÁ
Each morning begins with yoga and meditation, followed by a healthy, nutritious breakfast. The day is then dedicated to freediving in the region’s cenotes, which feature crystal-clear waters and depths ranging from 40 to 90 meters. On the fifth day, we’ll take a break from diving to visit Chichén Itzá, one of the most significant archaeological sites of the Mayan civilization and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, we’ll explore the iconic Kukulkán pyramid, the Temple of the Warriors, and the ancient ball court.
DAY 7 – IZAMAL & SECRET CENOTES
After the morning training, we’ll head to Izamal, known as the "Yellow City" for its distinctive colonial architecture. This charming town blends Mayan and Spanish influences, with a Franciscan convent built atop an ancient pre-Hispanic temple. Here, we’ll explore hidden cenotes, natural gems tucked away in the surrounding landscape.
DAY 8 – LAST CENOTE & farewell LUNCH
After our morning yoga session, we’ll visit the final cenote of the trip—a secluded, hidden spot, perfect for closing the experience on a high note. After the dive, we’ll enjoy an included lunch at a renowned traditional restaurant in Izamal, a special moment to reflect on the journey, share experiences, and celebrate the connections built over these unforgettable days.
DAY 9 – RETURN TO THE COAST
After a relaxing breakfast, we will head back to the Caribbean coast. You can choose to end the trip in Playa del Carmen or Cancun , depending on your preferences.
