My god, a group of barracudas.. no thanks! Honestly I would rather swim with reef sharks, haha. Yes that park is definitely touristy and was the most expensive activity we did (and though fun to swim around, did not have the best snorkeling).
Is the Monkey Sanctuary at Aktun Chen? We did explore that cave system (again very expensive for the brief tour, but so beautiful). We were the only ones there for the caves so got a 'private' and more chill tour at least so that was cool.
At the end after you exit the caves you walk through the monkey habitat. If we are talking about the same place then yes it is basically a monkey zoo. The cages were not tiny but it was cramped and sadly did not feel like a 'sanctuary' to us (still confined).
I am very happy to hear that the other towns are getting love as well. Hands down Riviera Maya is one of our most favorite places to visit, explore, and relax. Thanks again for posting this.
Perhaps we will create a post of our adventures during the honeymoon.. aahhh such good times!
Lol, I don't know what I prefer. Both are pretty scary! At one of my first scuba dives we saw about 30 reef sharks.. I almost got a heart attack haha.
Yes it is the sanctuary next to Aktun chen. The cave system is so awesome! We went driving with the ATVs around that area! Just wonderful!
Well I would love to read about that! - Let me know if you do!😉 👍
