Well, this is in Riviera Maya, we took a ferry ride from the island of Cozumel to Playa del Carmen (mainland) and a van to here, where the Rio Secreto (Secret River) is.105 viewsHad the description been more detailed, we may not have taken this excursion. When we got together with our group which consisted of just the four of us. The other couple was two newly weds of twenty-something. That should have told us something about the adventure we were about to have. The guy with the red hat is the guide.

(continuing description of Rio Secreto)80 viewsRio Secreto (secret river) was discovered long time ago by the Mayans, but they believed it was a river to hell, so they had never explored it. About three years ago, it was rediscovered by a local farmer. It is a cave complex that stretches for miles including an underground river. They have just started conducting tours on a small part of it in the past 18 months.

By the way, I didn't take the first 15 pictures in this album.69 viewsI was not allowed to have my camera in Rio Secreto. It probably was not a good idea for a camera unless it has an under water housing anyway.
