Day Trip Details
After picking you up at your hotel, we'll start a 1-hour and 45-minute journey toward Sayaxche. Along the way, we'll stop to pick up the picnic-style lunch we'll enjoy later. It's time for adventure!
Once we arrive, we'll head to the shores of the Pasión River, a tributary of the Usumacinta that winds among tropical jungles and flows into the Gulf of Mexico. Here, we'll board a speedboat to ride for 45 minutes to 1.5 hours.
As we advance, the murmur of the water will blend with the songs of birds, such as herons, kingfishers, and green parrots. Keep your eyes on the tree tops! During the trip, we'll also sail along the Arroyo Pucté, covered with vines and aerial roots that seem to embrace the riverbed.
Before you know it, we'll reach the Blue Crater, a hidden paradise in the depths of the Maya Biosphere Reserve.
Here, you'll have 3 hours of free time, where you can eat, swim in crystal-clear waters, and admire the seabed of the Blue Crater with the snorkeling equipment we'll provide you. Did you know the Blue Crater has a depth of 16 to 22 ft (5-7 m) filled with an underwater garden among calcareous formations?
After connecting with nature, we'll return to Sayaxche by speedboat to take the bus back. Finally, we'll drop you off at your hotel, where we'll say our goodbyes after 8.5 hours.
