About

About a 40-minute drive from Tulum you'll find Sfer Ik Uh May. Probably one of the best kept secrets of Yucatan. Hidden in the jungle you'll find, completely integrated in the jungle, this ecological arts centre. The place is like a Barbapapa meets Jane Fonda surprise set in a tropical jungle.

In the garden there are trees sprouting like flowers out the azure ponds. Woven wicker pathways give you a birds eye view on the grounds. And there is even a gourmet restaurant serving delicious jungle quisine.

Know Before You Go

The last 20 minutes is a dirt road full of potholes, Indiana Jones-style. Keep that in mind when renting a car.
