This was so much more than floating the lazy river. We started at the archeological ruins of Muyil which are astounding. Although there are larger ruins to see like Chechen Itza, Muyil is quiet, uncrowded, and with your own personal guide (The Mayan Warrior), we learned a great deal about the history of the culture and region. After walking the ruins, we then drove to another location and walked the jungle to our loading dock for the boat trip across the Biosphere waters. This was a fabulous ride through ancient mangrove canals which were man made for commerce and trading. The fact that they still exist and you traverse them in modern times is both humbling. Although the river float is only about 1.5 miles, it feels peaceful and spiritual. The trip culminates with authentic Mexican/Maya food in Playa del Carmen before you get dropped off back at your lodging. The Warrior took pictures throughout the tour and then later sent a photo file. Well worth the money.
