After my fantastic Ek-Balam family
adventure, I wanted to go for round 2 and experience the sporting activities
the o place offers.
I called up some people and in the end we
were 4! On a quiet Saturday morning we took off to the roads with some drinks
in the cooler, swimsuits and tennis shoes.
We looked around the place, went up some of
the buildings and basked on the glory of good weather.
After a somewhat easy negotiation with the
tour guys, we took to our bikes all ready and with a nice adventure package for
the four of us. We rode 2 km in the middle of the Mayan jungle and some people of
our group that party too much and don’t visit the gym, starting to feel the weight
of the last year of the 20’s. We shook it off with some laughs and deep
breaths.
We changed and strapped on the zip-lining
gear. We had two goes with it. It was exhilarating, fun, fast. The coolest part
is that when you zip above the cenote, the people swimming down there cheer you
on!
After that, we took some stuff off and put
some new one on. I don’t exactly know what, but suddenly I was wearing rappelling
gear! So we got around one gigantic tree whose roots went all the way down to
the cenote, that was... what?... 30 meters below? I know, not much, but still...
it is a cave of water. So I jumped around the tree on into the void with
nothing but water, roots and a very nice German family.
After those exciting experiences, we
needed to just float around the water in the cenote. We did some swimming,
drifting, swaying and so on; we even jumped into the water with a rope. That was
unwise, but fun.
It was a great day, full of fun and
thrilling experiences. I am ready to repeat!
