About this tour
Our most-requested tour — and Juan Carlos's personal favorite — packs an extraordinary amount of adventure, discovery, and testimony-building into a single day. Begin with the majestic Cobá ruins, where your group can still climb the legendary 42-meter Nohoch Mul pyramid for a breathtaking canopy view. Then plunge into the jungle itself — zip-lining through the treetops, rappelling into a hidden cave, and swimming in a pristine cenote deep within the forest. Juan Carlos delivers an expert LDS scholarly narrative throughout, turning every ancient stone and tangled root into a page from the Book of Mormon brought to life.
