About this audio guide
This guide to Aktun Chen, the cave and cenote park near Akumal in the Tulum area, traces the unmarked afternoon when local farmers first broke into a five-million-year-old cavern hidden beneath the jungle. It follows the water that carved that cavern, and the divers who later traced it for miles further than any tourist path goes. Best heard at the cenote's edge, before the tour group behind you catches up.
