The forest behind Playa del Carmen is home to spider monkeys living in the wild, and this private outing in French is built around them. Transport is included, and the guide accompanies the group throughout the day.
The first part is on foot, under the forest canopy. The guide spots movement up above and explains the signs that reveal where the animals are: shifting branches, calls, fruit remains on the ground. The outing continues by canoe on the lagoon, then with an abseil down into a cenote — a change from the usual staircase access that gives a real sense of entering the rock. The outing is private and guided in French.
Good to know: the 99 € per person rate applies for a minimum of four participants. The activity itself does not require four people to book.
