Hidden Worlds Cenotes Park
West side of Hwy. 307, 10 minutes south of Akumal
Riviera Maya, Mexico
Although the secret’s out—both IMAX and the BBC have reported on this stunning park made up of the world’s most extensive system of underwater caves and cenotes—it’s still a refreshing alternative to Xcaret’s more commercial attractions. Shake off sun-induced languor by whooshing through the jungle on one of two 600-foot zip lines or by rappelling into a cenote, where you can float, snorkel, or dive (if you’re scuba certified) in stalactite- and stalagmite-studded waters.
Insider Tip: Pedal your way through the jungle and over rock formations on the SkyCycle, a fun, more relaxing alternative to walking that runs for half a mile before depositing you next to a cenote.
