Undoubtedly, Wakax Hacienda’s best kept secret is our amazing Underground River Experience. In this 45 min adventure we will take you on an astonishing swimming journey through a beautiful semi-flodded cavern, where you will enjoy breathtaking views of spectacular ancient geological formations (stalactites, stalagmites, etc…) among pristine transparent blue waters. Here, you will learn about the unique and rare wild life that inhabits the underground river systems of the Yucatan Peninsula (the biggest in the world…), and why they are considered the “world’s capital” for cave diving.
All of our other water activities are located at “El Cocal”, which is the main lake located along the entrance road to the Hacienda. Here you will find single and double kayaks, paddle boards, and small boats, that you can take on a rowing adventure through the lake. After this, you can relax on our beautiful sun deck or go for a refreshing swim on the lake. In any case, El Cocal is the perfect place to do some rowing activities, or just hang out or sunbathe next to the water.
