The Nature & Jungle Tour at Dreams Tulum

Posted in Dreams Tulum, tagged , , , , , , , , on November 14, 2012 | 2 Comments »

 

About one month ago, the Explorer’s Club at Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa added a brand new, exciting hour-long activity to its program of offerings: the Nature & Jungle Tour. Each week, the Explorer’s Club kids don their safari outfits and explore the hotel grounds learning about all the different plants and animals they find. Signs around the hotel grounds explain the different flora and fauna in that area.  Plus, the Explorer’s Club leaders provide lots of fun facts about our resort’s residents. It’s a great time for all the kids, especially when some animals come walking or flying by!

Be sure to check the Sundial at Dreams Tulum for the Nature & Jungle Tour as well as all the other activities the Explorer’s Club plans!

They carved elaborate sculptures and reliefs, built sophisticated cities and temples, developed a highly accurate calendar, gazed at the stars in the observatories they constructed and utilized chocolate and corn in their food.

We love all guest recommendations, and couldn’t help but share this recent one posted by the Roberts family whose travel adventures are filmed for the PBS TV Show Travel With Kids.

Their recent blog, “Maya History Meets Oh-my-ahh! Scenery” talks all about the historic area of Tulum, which is about 2 hours south of Cancun. Take a look at what the Roberts family had to say about Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa!

The coast near Tulum is lined with beach bungalows, but for an exceptional family vacation, try Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa. The spacious rooms and suites are set up with families in mind and pamper guests with incredible views of the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean or the lush jungles of the Yucatan. The resort is just five minutes from the Mayan pyramids and offers a splendid line up of on-site activities including sailing, kayaking, snorkeling, tennis and more. The Explorer’s Club for Kids has lots of fun activities for the kid in everyone including rock wall, big-screen movies on the beach and sandcastle building contests.
