PARTNER FOR A UNIQUE MISSION TO MEXICO

As you have certainly understood, I come back delighted by this stay at PHOCEA MEXICO. I could not stop there and suggest that we go together to discover this region during a unique and exclusive mission in February.

Imagine: Playa del Carmen, eagle rays, bulldog sharks, sailfish, Cozumel and the extension to Mérida on a single mission ...

 

Moreover, I leave the floor to Maxime, one of the guides who created the MÉRIDA extension and who will accompany us, to present it to you:

Then a well deserved meal that we have prepared our Mayan friend.

An extraordinary and truly unique dive in the Kanun cenote, which we reach by rappelling, and always with the help of our Sherpa friends. This cenote is truly lost in the middle of nowhere.
- Day 6 :
Visit the Mayapan site. The city of Mayapan, fortified city, is considered as the great Mayan capital by the Indian and Spanish chronicles. His name, it seems, means "The flag of the Maya". During his heyday, during the Postclassic, between 120 and 1450 ap. BC, the population reached twelve thousand inhabitants according to archaeological estimates.

Embarkation aboard fast boats to go as quickly as possible to the area, 60 miles from the coast (approximately 3 hours by boat). The captains spot the birds in order to know where the sardine balls are and therefore the sailfish. Once they are spotted we go in the water for as long as we want and we enjoy this incredible spectacle with more than 80-100 sailboats going up and down in order to feed in the sardine ball. Return to Playa for one night at the Plaza Hotel.
