Day 5 Mexico

On Thursday (day 5) we went past Play de Carmen to Hidden Worlds Cenote Park, (a cenote is a water filled cave,..I think) A guy at Cass's work said we had to go. After getting to the park you have to ride 4 miles to the activity area on the bumpiest road on the planet. Once there you get on a Sky Cycle and ride through the tree tops for a about a 1/2 mile.
You ride down into the 1st Cenote, and snorkel through it.
Then its back on the Sky Cycle through 3 caves. Riding this sucker was straining on my chicken legs.
At the end of the Sky Cycle there is a zip line that is about 500 yards through the jungle. and it takes you to a place that you repel down into a cenote.

You can also ride a zip line down into the water if you want, or you can do them both as many times as you want.
This cenote was huge.
After the Hidden Worlds we went down the Road to a place called Tulum to see the Ruins and eat dinner. Tulum was cool because it was right on the ocean, so it was nice and breezy, unlike Chitzen Itza.

After the ruins we went to the town of Tulum. This is just around the corner from where we ate dinner. I love Tulum, if we went back I would want to stay in a hotel in Tulum or Playa de Carman.
