The Yucatan region lies between the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea and occupies a large section of the southeastern Mexican landscape. There are many adventures to be found in this part of the world and Chichen Itza is worth the trek. People travel from all over the world to see this archeological site with stone temples and a massive pyramid. Clap your hands to hear resounding birdlike noises bounce off the environment. Learn about the history of Mayan ceremonies and traditional ball games found in the ruins.
After a hot day in the sun, head to Cenote Tsukan to cool off in the water just 10 minutes away from Chichen Itza. Cenotes are natural sinkholes and caverns found in the Yucatan region.
Before entering Tsukan Santuario de Vida, hug a Pich tree, make a tortilla by hand and mix together spices with some assistance from locals in a maze leading to the cave.
The water is so deep that life jackets are necessary, but it's a rare opportunity to swim amongst fish in a peaceful cave.
