Hi, I am Shiva and welcome to the paradise. I got here the first time when I was a little kid, after my father discovered that life in an office wasn’t for him, and I’m so happy he did. Thanks to him, and by his side, I discovered my passion, nature. I was born in an island of Madagascar called Nosy-Be (big island), I grew up on a vessel, exploring all the landscapes the tropic has to give, the first time I scuba dived I was only 6 years old, and still, after at least 600 dives, I am about to get my professional PADI certification. I am Italian as my father is, and I had the fortune to study in Rome. I loved the city, I love my city, the architecture, the history... But there was something missing: nature. What is striking in this area? What makes Cancun and surroundings so special? That you can have the best of both worlds. I am sure that that you are staying at a fancy hotel or a dynamic Airbnb so you’ve seen the newest constructions, the big malls and how the city moves; now let me show you the jungle. You wouldn’t believe that we have those spots, you need to see it, to feel it, to live it. Give yourself the space and the time to disconnect, to connect, always through comfort, safety and a five star luxury service. Let me talk you about the culture, the things that used to happen back in the days and the things that happen now, see the paradise thru my eyes. Welcome to our country, full of colors and warm hearts. - STCW (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers) - ENG1 (Seafarer Medical Certificate) - EFR (Emergency First Response) - Psychologist (Universidad Azteca Cancun)

Discover the Real Mexican Taco Flavor
Overview of your Cancun tour
Get immersed in Cancun downtown with the real expert! I’ve been walking on this street this last 20 years and I know the best taco places! The tour starts at the “Palapas church”, the first church in the city. I will walk you through “Parque De Las Palapas” that is the very center of life for local people so there is always movement and is something really typical to see: there are often events on the main stage, lot of kids playing or plenty of people dancing, it’s a happy place. The first taco spot will be a food truck where we’ll try “street tacos”, the real influence of Mexico City, here, since 1994. The second spot has the best “Tacos al pastor” in the city (influence from Yucatan) and the third spot is a really nice restaurant that serves fresh seafood.We finish the tour returning to Parque De Las Palapas to try “marquesitas”, a sweet dessert that we’ll totally blow your mind.
