# Rio Secreto Plus: Classic Tour, Bycicle, Rappel & Ziplines

**Guidekin's take:** The Río Secreto cave river walk extended with a jungle bike ride, a rappel and ziplines, with buffet lunch, all equipment and a guide included. The base option is admission only; transport from Cancún or the Riviera Maya is a separate tier. 4.6 from 389 reviews at €99 per person for 5h.

In our comparison: #19 of 20 in ATV, Buggy & Zipline Adventures, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Rio Secreto has evolved, both as a brand and as a natural reserve, with the addition of Rio Secreto Plus – the most spectacular tour in the Mexican Caribbean.

This 5-hour guided tour begins with the traditional Rio Secreto Regular Tour, where you’ll walk through stunning caves, swim in crystal-clear underground rivers, and admire breathtaking millennia-old rock formations.

But that’s not all — Rio Secreto Plus takes your adventure further! Ride your bike through the lush jungle, descend by rappel into Xibalbá, the legendary Mayan underworld, and feel the thrill of soaring among the treetops on three exciting zip lines.
