Tres Rios

Tres Rios, stretching inland from a pristine mile-long white sand beach just 25 miles from Cancun, encompasses subtropical jungle and mangroves, covers 370 acres and offers a prime selection of cenotes -- the pools where the area's underground rivers break through to the surface. Only in Tres Rios are these cenotes at ground level, found in the shallow rivers that run to the sea.

At Tres Rios visitors can walk or bicycle through the jungle, canoe down the river, kayak in the sea, ride a horse along the beach, snorkel in the river or on the park's outstanding section of the Great Mayan Reef. For the less adventurous, there are hammocks to swing in, sandcastles to build, delicious ceviche of marinated fish to enjoy, and a few simple rules to help ensure that the next generation will find the park as it is today. Enjoy a day of snorkeling, scuba diving, horseback riding along the beach, hiking and biking on jungle trails and kayaking and canoeing. Tres Rios is a natural park in an area of low subtropical jungle and mangrove where visitors are invited to participate actively to enjoy contact with unspoiled nature.

More than 100 species of animals make their home in an exemplary sample of subtropical flora.

Tres Rios is located on the Riviera Maya, just 35 minutes (40km) south of Cancun's international airport on the Cancun/Tulum highway km 54, near Playa del Carmen.
