While in the Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula, we took an eco-tour deep into the jungle. We toured an amazing Mayan community known as Pacchen. Our guide introduced us to a shaman who blessed us in the Mayan tradition and then led us to a deep underground cenote to swim – 40 feet deep and filled with over 40 feet of water.
Above us was the cave top filled with bats. Below us was a fresh water cenote so crystal clear, that when you shined a light through it, you could see over 40 feet to the bottom of the cave pool.
This adventure brought us closer to the Mayan people and taught my team and I that there is more to the jungle than you can imagine; there is a whole other world waiting for you to learn about and explore.
