Step into the heart of the Akumal jungle for one of the most authentic and emotional wildlife experiences in the Riviera Maya! This is not a zoo where animals are simply observed; here, you’ll truly connect with rescued wildlife in a respectful and educational environment dedicated to protection, rehabilitation, and conservation. Guided by a passionate local nature expert, you’ll discover the inspiring mission of the sanctuary and learn the important differences between a rescue sanctuary and a traditional zoo. Throughout the experience, you’ll interact closely with incredible animals from the region and beyond, including colorful guacamaya parrots, gentle giant turtles, boas, crocodiles, hawks, deers, wild pigs, and many more fascinating species. And then comes the absolute highlight of the sanctuary: the spider monkeys Curious, intelligent, playful, and incredibly affectionate, these amazing animals create unforgettable moments and genuine emotional connections with guests.

After your jungle wildlife adventure, it’s time to refresh in the crystal-clear waters of a hidden covered cenote surrounded by nature; the perfect way to relax and cool down after such an immersive experience.

To complete the day, we return to Playa del Carmen to enjoy a delicious meal at Lara & Luca International Restaurant ️, known for its fresh ingredients, international flavors, and relaxed atmosphere.
