FORGET UMBRELLA DRINKS. THIS LUXE MEXICAN RESORT LETS YOU TOUR ANCIENT
ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES DURING YOUR STAY.


A SHORT DRIVE FROM THE PARTY PALACES OF CANCUN, AUBERGE'S ETÉREO HAS HIRED AN
IN-HOUSE INDIANA JONES TO TEACH GUESTS A THING OR TWO.

Curtesy of Etereo

For most, the Riviera Maya is about palm-fringed beaches with free-flowing
tequila cocktails. But at Etéreo, an Auberge resort that opened December 2021,
school is in session. 

Built amongst the mangroves in the high-end Kanai development complex, a
convenient 35 minutes from the Cancun airport, the resort has tapped
world-renowned archaeologist Dante Garcia to provide services in-house.
Garcia—who holds an advanced degree from the Autonomous University of
Yucatan—has been featured on Nat Geo and specializes in Mayan archaeology, as
well as the area’s prodigious natural wonders. For instance, he has 20 years of
experience cave diving in local cenotes—the underground, fresh-water caverns
that were left behind by the impact of the asteroid that wiped out the
dinosaurs.

In Etéreo’s purpose-built El Nicho—the resort’s library—Garcia meets and briefs
guests ahead of their adventures. Besides outlining itineraries, he uses the
time to measure the physical abilities and risk tolerance of guests, so that he
can amp up or scale back the following day’s activities. 

But you don’t have to be Indiana Jones to enjoy the ride. His menu of smart
excursions offers something for any taste, fitness level, or attention span.
Examples include a visit to the famed Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza (skipping the
normal two-and-a-half hour drive via a Cessna); and breakfast at a 17th-century
hacienda with access to the galleries where the Carnegie Institute planned its
famed 1929 excavation, before setting off to explore one of the Seven Wonders of
the Modern World. 

If you want something that sounds even more academic, join a Dynastic
Archaeology by Air tour. It transports guests via a comfortable one-hour flight
in a Piper Cherokee Six, over the heavily congested tourist mecca of Tulum and
the magnificent coastline, to the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World
Heritage site. A delicious lunch awaits at base camp, before you penetrate the
jungle surrounding the enigmatic and compelling remains of an ancient city.

Other expeditions include a descent into a subterranean cave to explore one of
the Mesoamericans’ most sacred sites. A visit to this underground realm of the
rain god Chaac includes an in-depth anthropological tour of the Mayan Sacred
Water Wells via a canoe ride through a lagoon. At the end you’ll arrive at a
hidden archaeological site full of ancient buildings covered by jungle, with
spider monkeys gamboling in the trees. 





Still not done? Snorkel in a cenote containing the second largest cache of Mayan
remains in the region. For those with adequate scuba-diving expertise (and
certification), Garcia will even lead them on a dive penetrating deep into a
subterranean cave.   


Once you are done packing your brain, dull it again with a drink by the pool.

On the morning I met Garcia, we traveled by SUV to the Sian Ka’an Biosphere to
explore the under-appreciated ruins of Muyil by foot. Stopping to admire an
anomalous temple structure that Garcia believes was influenced by the Guatemalan
architecture of the period, he pointed out the easy-to-miss entrance to a cenote
beneath the ruin, which the biosphere’s officials seem oblivious to. We then
enjoyed an easy hike through the forest (with a stop to climb a lookout tower
for an aerial view) until reaching an iridescent blue, fresh-water lagoon. A
waiting motorboat ferried us across and into a dense mangrove forest, where we
docked and floated down aquatic channels built by the ancient Mayans. Garcia
theorizes that these canals were carefully carved and maintained by the ancients
to use for easier transport of goods.

But never fear: Should your brain cells start to feel especially stimulated,
there are ice-cold margaritas waiting back at the hotel. This is Cancun, after
all.
