Geocache Description:

Located in the heart of the jungle, this cache is less then 1 mile from the Puarta Maya Cruise ship pier…… as the crow flies. If you’re not a crow then you will need to trek through the jungle by jeep, motorcycle, foot, or horse. From the cruise ship pier, head south. Only 1 km (.6 mile) past Puarta Maya pier is the first turn. FYI, Purata Maya is southern most pier of the 3 piers. These are the coordinates for that first turn. N 20 27.901 W086 58.643

Stay on this road/trail for another 1.6km (1 mile) and make another turn. Then you are on your own.

Total distance from P. Maya to the cache is 3.6 km (2 ¼ miles).

Wear tennis shoes or boots. I don't recommend sandals. During rainy season bring a poncho or raincoat. Mosquito repellent is in the cache as the season for the little pests is arriving.
When you get close to the cache you will discover a Temascal Sweat Lodge. This is the only operating spiritual & cleansing spa on the island. If you arrive early enough ( before noon) you may want to partake in this ancient ritual followed by a dip in a fresh water cenote. So be sure and bring you swim suit and towel. Or you can just find, sign and leave. Either way be sure and check out the Temascal house. For more information on the excursion click (visit link) (visit link)
