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!

Overview of your Playa Del Carmen tour

Chichen Itza is the most iconic archaeological site of the Mayan civilization, renowned for its stunning architecture, rich history, and vibrant culture. We’ll explore every corner of this ancient wonder, and I’ll reveal its hidden secrets. This is a must-see destination when visiting Mexico. Next, we’ll visit Valladolid, a colonial town shaped by the Spanish conquest. I’ll guide you through its charming streets, where you’ll discover the local way of life, authentic colonial architecture, and beautiful Mayan handicrafts. Food is a key part of my tours. You’ll enjoy the best of Mexican cuisine, including regional Mayan dishes, at one of the top restaurants in Valladolid—an unforgettable culinary experience. The highlight of the day will be swimming in the crystal-clear waters of a cenote. This secluded spot, managed by a local Mayan family, offers an intimate and authentic experience, far from the crowds.
