Luis is great! We loved the whole tour because most of it took place at the same site. The climb up the ruins can be scary, but the trick is to climb the sides instead of using the middle. The middle with the support rope is really smooth and slippery. The sides have more traction. Just do a crab crawl up there. The views are amazing and it's so special to be able to climb this ancient ruin! The traditional village was great in that we were able to stay at the same site to do the cenote swim, lunch and ziplining. We also got to kayak a little. The cenote is very cavernous and does contain bats, but the bats keep to themselves. The cenote is nicely uplit. They don't allow you to take cameras or gopros, but the reason is that the local villagers take the photos and sell them at the end. This allows you to support their community and allow for other youths to get trained in photography. It's a win-win, as you don't want to fear losing your camera to the cenote. The food was amazing and the experience was very well-rounded. The trails are very pebble-y, so wear appropriate water shoes.
