Their All Nature Experience at Sandos Caracol Eco Resort, allows guests to personalize their vacation even more by choosing one of their activity combo tours for a morning, afternoon or evening that focuses on eco experiences.

These six themed tours happen every week, taking you out into the most stunning natural settings the resort has to offer, like the lush green jungle, their refreshing natural cenotes (where the wedding ceremony will be held), or the majestic Caribbean Sea.

Each of the six tours provides a combination of back-to-back activities, all with the same theme. This way, you can choose the theme you want, then head out and experience the best activities in one outing and it’s all included in the all inclusive plan.
