The ocean itself is a mysterious place, 95% of it is completely unexplored. Within all that mystery, there is the ocean that crosses the Mexican Caribbean, the paradise where there is always something new to discover.
The Mexican Caribbean is known for its high tourist activity and its great biological diversity: blue sea, white sand beaches, tropical jungle, archaeological zones, cenotes, underground rivers, islands, lagoons, mangroves, reefs, and its impressive flora and fauna.
The most beautiful mystery to discover is the Mesoamerican Reef, a barrier reef that is almost 1,000 kilometers long and spans the coasts of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras. In the Riviera Maya, you can take a snorkeling tour to visit it and discover the unique and colorful fauna of which it is composed. Remember that a reef is a living organism that must be cared for and protected.
Another mystery that will surprise you is the cenotes, freshwater wells connected to underground rivers that supply them, and that eventually flow into the open sea. As being connected by thousands of underground caves, its exploration is a complicated job. However, although we know little about them, you may have the opportunity to visit one with the appropriate protection measures.
Finally, you cannot leave the Riviera Maya without visiting the mysterious underwater museum. It is the Cancun Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA) that was formed in 2009 in the waters surrounding Cancun, Isla Mujeres, and Punta Nizuc. The museum consists of more than 500 sculptures built with ecological materials that actively promote coral growth. You can visit this museum with a snorkeling tour or on a glass-bottom boat.
