Alltournative has recently launched a corporate-oriented service based on an alliance formed in 2006 with GIRA, national specialists in Organizational Development and related corporate interventions. These products combine Corporate Training modules, which include concepts like teamwork and communication skill development, as well as business simulations and coaching, with regional natural and cultural resources. GIRA is a direct experience training company located in Mexico that specializes in strengthening organizational culture, improving the work environment and stimulating corporate productivity, using a particular training model with recreational techniques focused on reinforcing participants' learning through sports, activities and fun, thus creating the concept of recreational training. Alltournative provides a unique backdrop in the Maya villages in which they work, offering these one- to two-day programs while combining the best of the region: the Caribbean Sea and its rich marine fauna, the sub-tropical jungle of the Yucatan Peninsula and its hidden treasures, intimate access to the ancient and current Maya culture, a vast array of adventure activities and direct involvement in the successful “triple bottom line” model that has positioned Alltournative as a regional example of practical sustainable tourism.

Enjoy two great adventures in one and get the perfect combination for Maya culture, nature and adventure. Your day begins exploring the only Maya archaeological site by the sea: Tulum. Tulum was occupied around 1200 AD. It is set on a cliff giving you stunning views of the Caribbean. Tulum was declared the 4th best beach in the world by National Geographic. Your guided tour will last two hours to give you ample time to get to know the Maya ruins and enjoy the fantastic views. We then take you to an authentic Maya ranch located in the heart of the surrounding sub-tropical rainforest. Your journey begins with a bike ride through the farmlands of Don Silvano, where you will enjoy the surrounding jungle scenery and learn about local Maya subsistence farming. You will arrive at an extraordinary system of Cenotes where you will be swimming and snorkeling in their crystalline waters. Then you will set out on flight over the jungle's foliage and Cenotes on a series of the most thrilling zip-lines of Mexico, with the last zip-line measuring 160 meters long! Your journey will end in the mystic dry Cenote of the legendary Aluxes where you will witness a traditional Maya purification ceremony and learn of the religious and cultural importance of the Cenotes to the Maya people.

Your exciting adventure tour starts with a ride in a 4x4 all-terrain vehicle that takes you to Rancho San Felipe, a small Maya family community where the Nohoch Nah Chich Cenote system is located (one of the longest explored underground river systems in the world). Here you will take part in an unforgettable snorkeling adventure into the fresh waters of this underground river, swimming deep inside the caverns where you will observe stunning stalactite and stalagmite formations above and below this crystal-clear water. You will then be transported to "Heavens Gate", another entrance to this beautiful underground river system, for a relaxing swim in its refreshingly cool waters. A traditional Maya lunch prepared by the women of this community then awaits you at the ranch. After lunch you will have the opportunity to visit the ranch and its inhabitants, a small Maya family that have lived in this remote jungle location for the last 30 years. The expedition then takes you on a sea-kayak trip out to the reef system where you will snorkel and observe the spectacular corals, sponges and tropical fish of the Mexican Caribbean.
