We follow up with a visit to an exclusive cenote hidden in the jungle. This is an incredible insight into the underground world of the peninsula, where we walk, wade and swim in the clearest of waters, surrounded on all sides by the wondrous limestone formations that create beautiful textures in the rock. A close-up and exclusive experience of the unique environment of the underground rivers will leave you with a lasting impression of this magical world. The open sink hole in the middle of a labyrinthine cavern and the winding paths that lead us to it will delight your senses.

Incredible day with Paloma - Me, my husband and our two kids (6 and 9) recently returned from the Yucatan. We spent about half of our time in Telum. By far, the high point of our trip was the tour we did with MexicoKanTours, our guide Paloma and our driver, Axel.
Axel and Paloma picked us up promptly from our hotel at 8am. They were immediately welcoming to our entire family (the youngest of which were a bit grumpy about our early departure due). We drove to the ruins and on the way, Paloma explained some of the history of the indigenous people. We toured the ruins for about an hour – and throughout the tour, Paloma was very attentive to each of us (making sure we used the bathrooms when we had the chance, offering water, suggesting photo opportunities and indulging my 6 year-old’s preoccupation with the iguanas.) It was exactly the right speed for my family. We learned a lot about Telum (“Zama”) and were also allowed the space and time to take in and enjoy the stunning scenery.
From there we traveled to a cenote. Our experience at the cenote was nothing short of spectacular. Again, on the ride there, Paloma described the different types of cenotes in the area and showed us pictures of the birds and other animals who live in the area. It is hard to describe our experience at the cenote itself because it was incredibly special. The cenote itself has a certain spiritual quality but it was also the way that Paloma led us through the cenote that allowed us to attune to this wonder of our natural world. We swam and played in the crystal blue water of the Cenote before we headed back to the van.
We finished with a delicious lunch where we had the chance to chat a bit with Paloma.
We were a week in the area but somehow, the half-day we spent with Paloma and Axel will be what we all think of when we think about this trip. Thank you, Paloma.

A bike tour to do absolutely - We booked the bike tour and it turned into a private tour as there were only two of us. Our guide, Alondra was really exceptional. She was really erudite and with good contagious energy. Couldn't have been better. The tour itself was really well thought out and easy to do by bike, our guide made the experience unforgettable. Thank you!!

Unforgettable Adventure – A Must-Do in Mexico! - From start to finish, this private tour was absolutely incredible! Our guide, Alondra, and driver, Victor, went above and beyond to make this an unforgettable experience for our group of 16.
We started with a visit to the breathtaking Mayan ruins in Tulum, where Alondra shared fascinating history and insights about Mayan culture during the ride. Her knowledge and passion truly brought the ruins to life.
Next, we explored a private Cenote, where we hiked through an underground cave river—an exhilarating and magical experience! It was an adventure for everyone, even the youngest in our group (age nine), and definitely a highlight of our trip to Mexico.
To top it all off, we ended the day at a fantastic local Mexican restaurant, where I had some of the best fish tacos of my life, paired with an amazing margarita.
Alondra was not just an excellent guide but also a wonderful person—warm, friendly, and engaging. By the end of the day, she felt like a friend, and we were sad to say goodbye. If you’re looking for an adventure that’s fun for the whole family and truly unforgettable, this tour is a must!

We had a great time and would recommend seeing ruins and cenotes! - Our tour was amazing and perfect for a mixed group of four families with children of different ages. Alondra was the best tour guide we’ve ever had and would highly recommend her.

Family of 16 private Mayan Ruins and Cenote Tour - This was by far a favorite adventure of our trip. Our 15 year old said the cenotes was the coolest thing he has ever done. Alondra is a fantastic guide and quickly became family. We would follow her on all the adventures.

Half day in Tulum, Whole lot of sites - This half day tour really hits the highlights without taking up a whole day of your trip. Carlos was awesome! He was so knowledgeable about the archeological sites (as well as good picture spots), it made a huge difference having him there. The cenote was beautiful both in the water and out. We finished our tour with some delicious tacos. Highly recommend!

Best Tours in Tulum - We had an incredible experience exploring the Tulum ruins and a private cenote with our tour guide, Paloma, and driver, Victor! From the very beginning, Paloma felt like she was part of our group, making the whole day feel like a fun, laid-back adventure with friends. She shared amazing insights into the history of the Tulum ruins, cenotes, and Mayan culture. The cenote on this tour is hands down one of the coolest places you'll visit, and Paloma made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy the natural beauty at our own pace. Highly recommend!

Excellent Tour! - We did a tour with Marco to visit the Tulum ruins and Santa Cruz cenote, and it was an absolutely amazing day! Marco was so very knowledgeable and friendly, a top notch guide. The ruins were stunning and the cenote/cave tour was spectacular. We finished the day with an amazing lunch that was beyond delicious.
