Step into the community-run Punta Laguna Nature Reserve (Otoch Ma’ax Yetel Kooh) on a conservation-focused private tour from the Riviera Maya.

Track wild spider monkeys and howler monkeys along shaded jungle trails with a community naturalist, glide by canoe across a mirror-still lagoon, choose an optional zipline, and cool off with a crystalline cenote swim (life vests provided).

Before these activities begin, a short traditional Maya ceremony in a real Maya community invites safe passage and respect for the forest.

After Punta Laguna, we continue to Nuevo Durango to visit a UMA (wildlife management unit) run by local Maya residents that protects endemic animals of the region. Here you’ll enjoy an authentic regional meal with handmade tortillas prepared on the spot; guests who wish can even learn to make tortillas by hand alongside the cooks—an unforgettable, hands-on cultural moment.
