“Our guide Rafa had great local Mayan knowledge and some special messages for us all about culture, the history of what we were witnessing, how we can stop and reflect about this in regards to our own countries culture and history of colonialism. The tour was a long day but worth the escort if you weren’t hiring a car. The food was a treat before the wonderfully revitalising swim in a cenote.”
