Full description
Immerse yourself in an ancient world of stalactites and stalagmites with a visit to Rio Secret in Playa del Carmen. Roam the labyrinths of dramatic rock formations and tranquil waters in this hidden underground network of rivers and caves.
Upon arriving to Rio Secreto, you will meet your guide and receive a wetsuit, wet shoes, a lamp, and a helmet to get you ready for your adventure.
Then enter the caves, where you will have 1968 feet (600 meters) free for walking, swimming, and enjoying the enchanting beauty of your surroundings.
After approximately 1.5 hours, you will be taken back to ground level and treated to a light lunch of delicious local food. Choose the green salsa if your taste buds like it hot! This is a chance for you to relax among the serene jungle habitat and reflect upon your experience in the caves. After this, you may wash and change before heading back to your hotel.
