Wake up and make sure to get a good breakfast, as today we head north on a boat tour that will take us to the gorgeous Contoy Island – an often forgotten Caribbean paradise, it does not get the same renown as Isla Mujeres or Cozumel, but it is just as beautiful (perhaps even more beautiful!)
This secluded island receives a limited amount of visitors per day, as it is a natural reserve – few places in the area are as strict in terms of the impact made by visitors, but you will be able to enjoy the white sandy beaches, snorkel on the way to the island, and enjoy a delicious lunch of local food.

The journey today takes you to see a more authentic, lesser visited side of life among the Mayan people of the region. Make sure to pack all your belongings as you will check out of the hotel after breakfast.
You will head south to a small Mayan village, where you will experience local agricultural practices, visit an apiary, and enjoy a traditional homemade meal.

On the way, a visit to the Coba archaeological site offers the chance to explore the ancient pyramid of Nohoch Mul and the Temple of the Frescoes.
