ATV Explorer Jungle Tours is the original Playa del Carmen jungle
tour. Ride an ATV through jungle paths, swim in a clear 60 foot deep cenote,
explore caves, climb ancient Mayan ruins on this 2 hour tour. Right next to
Playa del Carmen and Playacar, Mexico, just an hour south of Cancun.
 You
will visit beautiful caves
and cenotes on your ATV
Explorer Jungle Tours in
Playa del Carmen. The eastern
half of the Yucatan Peninsula,
Mexico, is home to thousands
of caves and natural springs
called cenotes. The ancient
Mayans considered them
sacred entrances to the
spiritual world. No visit
to this region would be
complete without a trip
to one of these palm-lined,
crystal-clear, freshwater
pools.
The Yucatan peninsula was originally under the ocean, and the region's limestone
foundation is fossilized coral beds and ocean floor. There are no above ground
rivers in this area, all of the ground water sinks through the porous limestone
and travels to the sea in underground rivers. Parts of the limestone weakened
over time and collapsed, leaving sinkholes filled with water. Locally around
Playa del Carmen these pools are called cenotes.
During the ice ages, portions of the underground rivers dried up and water
dripping through the limestone left mineral deposits in beautiful formations.
Decorations - stalactites and stalagmites - formed in the caves and caverns,
and were covered with water when the rivers began flowing once again.
The Maya used the cenotes
for water - both for drinking
and irrigation - and in religious
ceremonies. Some of their
cities were built around
cenotes or wells dug down
to the ground water. Divers
have explored the cenote
at Chichen Itza and have
found offerings the ancient
Maya made to the gods. Among
them copper and gold necklaces,
pottery, jade beads, and
skeletons of both sexes and
all ages.
 
ATV Explorer Jungle Tours
takes you swimming in one
of the most beautiful cenotes
near Playa del Carmen. The
water is clean, sheltered
from the sun by sheltering
cavern roof. It is so clear
that the stalagmites on the
bottom look like they are
just under the surface, when
the truth is they are more
than 60 feet down!
A highlight of the jungle tour is a trip into an ancient cave. This cave used
to be a cenote, but dried up centuries ago. Near the entrance is a burial site
of an ancient Maya priest.
