Duende Tours is a highly experienced local multi-sport adventure travel provider of ecologically and culturally-oriented tours in the rainforest of the Mayan World in Mexico, Belize and Guatemala. As an international team of Europeans, Americans, and Latin Americans, we have been able to integrate western travel needs and quality standards into a local culture with different living standards and understandings.
What differentiates us from other tour organizations is our philosophy about adventure travel. We prefer to think of our tours as personal journeys of reflection, fun, and learning. Our tours are directed towards individuals that are looking to push their physical, educational, and cultural limits just a little further whilst off the beaten path. In other words, our tours are made for active travelers, interested not only in nature, but in the unique and stimulating learning experience of sound eco-friendly and culturally-sensitive methods of travel.
Long known as the largest fish that exists in the world today, you will easily be able to tell a whale shark when you see one. They have very thick skin that is colored a two-tone shade, with both lines and spots on them. The whale shark may actually swim at depths that are around 400 feet.
Whale sharks are among the gentlest giants in the world. Far more akin to a whale than they are to a shark, the whale shark diving experience tops the list of adventure vacations that many people say they would like to have. Once you dive with a Whale Shark, you'll understand why. The experience is difficult to describe until you've actually participated in it.
Among the grand Mayan ruins that are housed in the Yucatan area Palenque ranks easily in the top of the "must see" category. Easily competing with Chichen Itza and Tikal simply for the Mayan temples and the architectural beauties along the Palenque ruins provide a non-stop trip through history and culture for those who take the time to go and visit.
Somewhat off the beaten path, the Palenque ruins are about 650 kilometers from the beaches and white sands of the Riviera Maya, but makes for a reasonable overnight trip for those who would like to experience history as well as some sunshine.
If you have never been to the island of Cozumel, you are in for a wonderful surprise!
Cozumel is the largest inhabited island in Mexico, is a paradise for diving and snorkeling .
A very good friend of mine once told me that traveling to distant and exotic places only meant as much as the person with whom you shared it. I disagree.
OK, sorry for the pause in the vacation slides. I haven't been feeling well this week. I'm hoping for a tapeworm -- it'd save me a lot of money on Weight Watchers.
It’s everywhere. You see it in the movies, in the ranches and in the plains, you see it exhibition shows and in rodeos,…you even see it in the heart of New York City.
Ok, Now that I’ve woken-up and had a day to think about what I wanna write about,…part deux of my Mayan World trotting.
