Guide #25369
Welcome to Mexico! I am Diego a certified private tour guide in the Riviera Maya specialized in Mayan archaeology, nature and adventure. I was born and raised in Chiapas, Mexico, a place surrounded by natural beauties and indigenous communities. I remember that since I was a little child, I dedicated myself to explore the most beautiful corners of my country: rivers, waterfalls, archaeological ruins and climbing volcanoes. Now my job is to share these experiences with others and to raise awareness in preserving our natural resources. Life took me to many places, and 12 years ago I decided to move to Playa del Carmen looking for a relaxing life near the beach. It is beautiful to live here, surrounded by culture, cenotes and the most beautiful beaches of Mexico. Since I arrived here I have worked as a tour guide, a very noble work and I love it. I have guided tours to Mayan ruins, underground caves, Mayan communities, jungle tours with activities like canopy, rappel, ATVs, snorkelin and I had the opportunity to take the great travel writer Rick Steves on two amazing tours here in Riviera Maya! I have learned a lot about the Mayas, their flora, fauna, medicinal plants. I have even learned to speak their local language Maya Yucateco. Now I want to share all these life experiences with you through my private tours, taking you to unique places, giving you the best of the Mexican Caribbean in your next vacation!

Diego is great. Family from ages 12-82 and all of of loved, learned and appeciated not only the pyramid but aspects of Mayan/mexican life. Diego is a wonderful teacher
We talked to several different guides about many different options for the perfect day trip, and Diego killed it! We had 3 different experiences at 3 different cenotes- it was a long day, but I wouldn't have taken anything out. There wasn't more than a handful of other people at any of the places we went, we practically had them to ourselves- and sometimes we did! He made...
What an incredible tour! Diego delivered one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. His deep knowledge of the Mayan civilization, combined with engaging stories and real insight, kept us hooked from start to finish. The tour was flawlessly planned and perfectly timed, making the entire day smooth, stress-free, and truly memorable. Highly recommend!
Wonderful day with our guide Diego and our driver Felipe! We love exploring new places and this was our 2nd tour with Diego. He is very patient and knowledgeable. Diego did not mind answering all of our questions regarding the Mayan ruins, history and culture. The Cenote was a refreshing end to a warm day! Thank you again for a fun tour!
