About This Experience
Muyil was the aquatic equivalent of the Silk Road for ancient Mayan settlements. Hold on to your hats as you boat across the lake and through the canals where goods such as jade, obsidian, chocolate, honey, feathers, chewing gum, and salt were transported inland from the Caribbean Sea. Witness firsthand the winding routes where cultural and economic exchange of ancient Mayan settlements thrived. As the earliest and longest inhabited ancient Mayan sites on the Yucatán Peninsula with some artifacts dating back to as early as 350 BC, the significance of these canals and ruins is rich in history and magnificence. End this voyage through time with manatee spotting and frolic with friends, family and wildlife in the cove of an isolated beach.
