Sian Ka’an & Muyil Ruins – Cultural Eco Tour from Tulum, Mexico

Sacred Mayan Ruins amidst an Exuberant Jungle Lagoon

Experience an adventure of a lifetime with our most popular Mayan group tour.
Muyil or Chunyaxche, is an ancient Mayan ceremonial center, found inside the Sian Ka’an reserve — an amazing wildlife conservation area, the third biggest natural biosphere reserve in Mexico, considered also a World Heritage Site.
The Canan Ha Path, in the middle of Sian Ka’an, is an elevated walkboard, from where you can see the water and the exuberant jungle, more than 400 species of birds, butterflies, coatis (the cute Mexican hog-nosed coons), agoutis (adorable rodents also called Sereque), amphibians and reptiles. The spectacular views in this beaming with life jungle make this one of the best tours in Mexico.

We start our guided tour on a small boat from the Muyil lagoon, passing through the ancient Mayan channel until reaching the Chunyaxche lagoon, characterized by its turquoise hues. From there, we’ll reach another channel with crystal-clear water.

The main highlight is that we will enjoy a relaxing float in the current for more than 30 minutes. Just imagine yourself, surrounded by water, mangrove trees, and nothing else, but nature. Lots of orchids and bromelias will color up your relaxation.

NEW: Mud spa – we have added a natural beauty procedure for a smoother and better looking skin – you can now enjoy gentle exfoliating in the natural mud bath in the Pirate Canal of Sian Ka’an.

At the end of this exotic Mayan tour, you’ll try delicious Mexican food at a local restaurant.
