The excursion was one to remember. It is kind of off the beaten path, so there are not a lot of tourists. Upon entering the preserve, you are welcomed With a traditional Mayan ceremony. Our guide, Salvador, was very professional, and he was even willing to help me navigate because I have muscle issues. We were able to see a couple holler monkeys in their natural environment. The zip lining was fun, and canoeing across the lake was beautiful. I was not able to go into the cenote, but my cousin said that was an absolutely amazing experience
