Combine a private snorkel along the world's second-largest barrier reef with an expert-led walk through the seaside Mayan ruins of San Gervasio.
What to expect
Morning starts with a private boat out to Palancar or Colombia reef, where vivid coral walls and sea turtles await beneath the surface. After drying off, you're driven inland to San Gervasio, once a pilgrimage site dedicated to the Mayan goddess Ixchel, where your guide brings the ruins' history to life away from the main tourist paths. Lunch is a private beachfront stop with fresh ceviche before returning to port.
