Río Secreto
A guided walk and swim through an underground river and caves, just south of Playa del Carmen.
The way we see it
Río Secreto is a nature reserve where you walk and float through an underground river among stalactites, with a guide and a small group of up to ten. You wear a wetsuit, a life jacket and a helmet with a lamp, and the tours run rain or shine, which makes it a good plan for any day of the trip.
