Don’t Miss Out on Cancun’s Best:

 

Let me start by telling you the top 3 things that you MUST not miss if you’re planning on enjoying your Cancun getaway. The following points will be tips that you’ll find very useful (trust me), and that might even save you money! Buckle in and listen up, you’re in for a treat…

1. Selvatica:

No extreme adventure in Cancun is complete without visiting Latin America’s #1 rated Nature/Adventure Park (TripAdvisor). I’ve lived in Cancun for 15+ years and all I can say about Selvatica is positive. The atmosphere feels 100% genuine and the staff has down to earth, grounded people… There’s never a dull moment in Selvatica, and as far as adventure goes, I highly recommend this experience for both expert adrenaline junkies and beginners.

2. Dolphin Experiences:

Soften up, and take some time to experience a true connection. As far as dolphin encounters and dolphin swims in Cancun, Dolphinaris is without a doubt my go-to. I am not a great fan of keeping animals in captivity, but even then Dolphinaris makes it a guilt-free experience! From beginning to end they make sure that both you and the dolphins are under excellent care, and their new program, Blu, is surely going to blow your mind (there’s VR included, what?!).

3. Ventura Park

Whether you want to wind down a little or want to keep the adrenaline pumping Ventura Park has got something for you. This is an all-ages amusement park that has over 5 different sections, all filled with fun attractions! You have a water park, go-karts, adventure rope circuits, zip lines, VR experiences and MUCH MORE. If winding down sounds attractive, there is also a V.I.P beach club!

DO’s and Dont’s

1. DO Stay at an AIRBNB

This accommodation alternative has gotten increasingly popular over the years and it is no surprise why. You might be paying less or equal the amount that you would when staying at a hotel, and the benefits could be higher! It really depends on whether you prefer being more independent or you like being pampered; someone who’d rather have a kitchen and living room instead of room service should opt for this.

2. DON’T purchase at the airport

It might be tempting but I assure you that ANY tour, cab, item that you buy at the airport will be quite a lot more expensive than elsewhere. Book tours online, save money.

3. DO stay between Cancun and Tulum

As you’re looking for more outdoorsy and adventurous activities I’d say that staying in Playa Del Carmen would probably be the best option. Consider that Playa is in the middle of most fun activities so to avoid long distances this will be the trick.

4. DON’T forget mosquito repellent and bottled water

This might be an obvious one but we tend to forget sometimes. The basic items for your Cancun trip are sunblock, mosquito repellent, sunglasses and probably a cap… If you’re bringing a camera definitely bring an extra battery/memory card (so many photo ops, seriously) and last but not least: water.

You can’t and shouldn’t bring the water from home, but I beg you to NEVER drink the tap water. Purchase water bottles and try to carry one with you all the time.

Best Cancun Adventure is Selvatica [5 reasons why]

Posted on by eliseo

There are two reasons why millions of tourists flock every year to Cancun: for beauty and adventure. It’s easy to see why. Everywhere you look, there’s something gorgeous to look at. Everyone knows about the soft-sanded beaches. There’s also the piercingly turquoise waters. Let’s not forget about the sparkling cenotes throughout.

But Cancun is more than that…

There’s also a vast Mayan jungle daring you to conquer it.That’s the other side of Cancun. The side that invites adventure. Like we said, there are two ways to enjoy Cancun: looking (beauty) and doing (adventure).

Some people don’t like adrenaline. Others demand it. It’s their way of ‘feeling alive’. For fans of extreme excursions, Cancun is your playground. Here, you can be free. Unshackle the chains of polite society.

The question is:

When the Mayan jungle beckons, do you answer the call?

For those who shout ‘yes’. Please proceed. We’re going to let you in on a little secret.

For those still unsure: don’t give up yet. Nothing summons the spirit like, adventure. This is the perfect proving grounds for conquering fear.

So step up to the plate. This is your chance to have a jungle excursion in Cancun.

But where you may be asking?

If you’ve been here before, it’s obvious.The best Cancun adventure is Selvatica.

Look’s look at 5 of the best reasons why that’s true.

1.-Insane ziplines over a jungle canopy

Where’s the best place to zipline in Cancun? Selvatica! Selvatica is the premier adventure park in Cancun. Situated in the heart of the Mayan jungle, at Selvatica, anything is possible.

And that includes…

Soaring through the air, over a jungle canopy, upside-down on a zipline!

That’ll wake you up!

Need more? Try Selvatica’s vaunted Tarzania Zipline. Not all ziplines were created equally.

Let me explain:

Most ziplines follow a single path. You start at the top, and gravity takes you down. Not Tarzania. No, Tarzania blazes its own trail. First, you go down.

But guess what? Now you’re going back up again. Then left. Then right.

It’s truly is zipline madness.

2.-Get Muddy on a badass Polaris ATV

Think back to your childhood. Remember when you could run freely through the mud? Return to your youth. Selvatica grants you license to ‘get dirty’ again.

Here’s how. Hop on a Polaris ATV. Here’s a tip: make SURE it’s a Polaris.

What’s the difference? Ever been on a buddy’s beat-up pickup truck? You know. Where the suspension is shot and you can feel every bump on the road? Then you drive a Cadillac and it feels like you’re driving on a cloud.

That’s the Polaris difference.

It’s not only that, though. It’s instant acceleration. The stop-on-a-dime brake system. And if anything happens? You have state-of-the-art roll bars for protection.

With nothing to worry about, the Mayan jungle is yours to conquer. One more tip: when they offer you a pair of goggles….wear them! The last thing you need is mud in your eye!

3.-Don’t look down! Hanging Aerial Bridges ahead

Do you have a fear of heights? The ability to stay calm when it matters most? Then prove it.

Walk, high up in the air, over wobbly hanging aerial bridges. But what if you fall? Fear not. You’ll be strapped up to a cable of course!

But don’t let that fool you. Even though you know you’re not in mortal danger, it still gets your heart racing.

4.-The fountain of youth is real: they’re called Cenotes

You know that feeling? The one you get when you come out of the shower after long grueling day? There’s nothing more refreshing. It’s completely reinvigorating. And how couldn’t you be?

Just a moment ago, you were filthy and worn out. Now? Full of life and clean as a whistle. Now take that feeling…and multiply it by a 100. That’s how you’ll feel when you exit our cenote. Remember, by this point, you’re going to be covered in mud, sweat, and exhaustion.

Think about it: is that how you want to drive home?

Instead, hang on to a zipline and enter our cenote with a splash! Is that too easy for you? Need something bolder? Try diving headfirst off a 60-foot ledge! Speaking from personal experience, if you do the big jump, point your toes downwards.

Just trust me on that. =)

Jump into the fresh cenote water and make a splash

 

5.-Make a difference in the world with our ‘Seed of Life’ program

What’s the Selvatica difference? Here, you’re not just another ticket sold. We’re in this together. When you’re here, you’re part of the tribe. We have your back. Your tribe leader will be with you for the whole journey.

Every year, we thank the jungle. Why? Because without the jungle, there is no Selvatica. Every year thousands of trees are cut down. The worst part? They’re being cut down faster than they’re growing.

Together, we can help. It’s easy. Place a seed in an expired helmet. Then dig a hole, and place the helmet inside. That’s it. With this simple project, we have shrunk our carbon footprint by MILLIONS of tons. 7.8 to be exact.

Honor the forest. Without it, there’d be no Cancun jungle adventure!
