Follow us on a beautiful trip in the Yucatan Penninsula to learn about the Mayan culture and swim in an authentic cenote. On this exciting day trip, we'll take your from Merida, Mexico to the ruins of Mayapan and one of the two cenotes in the region.

The ruins of Mayapan in Yucatan are considered the "flag of the Mayas" and the last great capital of the Mayan Empire. It covers 4 square kilometers with approximately 4,000 structures. If you like archeological sites or if you wish to explore a historical  place, then this is a great option. There is plenty of room to stroll around, climb the pyramids without getting worn out.

This "Cavern Cenote" features wide stairs and plenty of room for swimming. The second one is for teenagers and adults. This "Open Cenote" is surrounded by rock cliffs and stunning vegetation. It has 2 jumping platforms, clear blue waters and is perfect for snorkelling. Whichever adventure you choose, you'll spend an unforgettable day.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard

Our first time with Explore-Share. An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Extremely good value, very well organised with attention to detail. We travel widely and this has by far been the best of experiences. Well done to all concerned. We are already looking at booking another trip!
