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-flooded 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. Find out why these semi-flooded caves were, and are still, considered sacred places for the mayan people, and how crucial these rivers were in the development of their civilization and cosmology.
