Feeling the excitement as we left Villa del Palmar Cancun in our shiny new Jeep hired at the resort, we left fully packed with coffee-to-go and treats for the road. With our GPS set and our instructions noted, we took to the road on our adventure to Sian Ka’an biosphere to stay at the luxury Sian Ka’an Village property.

The breathtaking activity we enjoyed today at Sian Ka’an Village was a snorkeling excursion to the marvelous reef known as Cerebros (which literally translates as “brains”!). Cerebros is part of the larger reef network in the Sian Ka’an Biosphere that we are lucky to have just a few meters in front of our luxury Sian Ka’an property. Our guests were left in awe at the incredible marine life that we could see as we swam beneath the surface with our snorkel gear. We went out with two of our guests in the early morning, just as the sun was beginning to warm our backs.
