Cancun Underwater Museum

When snorkelers and divers explore the waters of Cancun, they are easily drawn to the beautiful coral reefs that have been naturally formed in the ocean. Unfortunately, all of that attention from underwater explorers can be harmful to the coral reefs. However, asking people to stop diving into Cancun’s water would be an unrealistic expectation, especially when you consider how beautiful it is down there. For that reason, Jason deCaires Taylor made it his very own mission to offer a solution to the coral reef problem in the waters of Cancun.

Who is Jason deCaires Taylor and what is his solution? Jason deCaires Taylor is an eco-sculptor who is internationally recognized for his works. Mainly, he makes sculptures. However, they are not the type of sculptures that you typically see at art galleries. Jason deCaires Taylor’s sculptures actually come to life with the help of the underwater species that dwell in the waters of Cancun.

Unlike other sculptures, the works of Jason deCaires Taylor does not usually get displayed in modern art galleries. Instead, they are mainly featured underwater for snorkelers and divers to see and be amazed by. For instance, his many underwater sculptures are what make up the Cancun Underwater Museum.

What does the Cancun Underwater Museum have to do with the previously mentioned coral reef problem? The Cancun Underwater Museum attracts many snorkelers and divers—the same ones that would have otherwise been drawn to the natural coral reefs. By diverting the attention of underwater explorers, the works of Jason deCaires Taylor has helped to save the coral reefs in Cancun.

Rio Secreto Tour

"During your touring of the Rio Secreto, you are going to be shielded from the sun the entire time. "

Located just 90 minutes away from the city of Cancun, the Rio Secreto Tour is something that you won’t want to miss during your time in Cancun. Rio Secreto is a cave that has only started to allow for entries from visitors in the more recent years. The experience of touring the Rio Secreto is different from most other caves. That is because you won’t just be walking or hiking through the Rio Secreto, but you will also be swimming through certain portions of the Rio Secreto cave.

Caves that fully sit under the water require visitors to be certified in diving. Therefore, they are not an option for a lot of people. Rio Secreto is not such a cave. You do not even need to be a proficient swimmer to be able to tour the Rio Secreto. As long as you can float on top of the water, you will be okay. You will even get some floating assistance from the life jacket that is freely loaned out to you during the Rio Secreto Tour.

During your touring of the Rio Secreto, you are going to be shielded from the sun the entire time. For that reason, it is unnecessary for you to wear any type of sun protection. In fact, it is preferred for you to not have sunscreen or any other lotions on your body while on the Rio Secreto. That is because introducing those things into the Rio Secreto can be harmful to the cave. So if you already have it on, consider washing it off before starting the Rio Secreto Tour.
