Aktun Chen Park is an eco park located in the Yucatan Peninsula. I decided to follow Prof. D’s example and talk about an eco park.
Aktun Chen means “natural well inside a cave” in Maya. This park is actually a cave system located near Tulum and it is the largest dry cave system in the Riviera Maya. This is a family friendly eco park that offers not only discovering the secrets of the cave system but also includes cent snorkeling, zip line rides, and a wildlife zoo which includes over 3 hectares of jungle. When booking a trip to Aktun Chen Park, you are offered a complementary lunch.
The most important attraction is of course the cave system which is around 5 million years old. This cave system is so impressive that the National Geographic Society includes Aktun Chen on the list of the Top 10 Best and Most Impressive Underground Walkways in the World.
