Venture-Out
Cancún
The flight of a plane -the passage of a train, bus or ferry- to a new destination often marks one's life like the changing of chapters in a good book. The break from something old to something new, from something measured to something yet defined, has in itself been always most alluring.
After all, it is during these interludes -when one finds oneself between one place and another, between a sentimental departure and an expectant arrival- when the world most reveals itself.
Welcome to El Mayab (The Mayan Homeland):
F irst and foremost, 'Venture-Out' is a Guide Service with Definitive Eco-Archaeological Excursions and Specialized Day Tours for those using Cancún as a gateway to El Mayab. For those guests booking any of Venture-Out's Day or Overnight Excursions, Venture-Out is also an optional Booking Agency for accommodations, auto, van or bus rentals; and air-taxi charters.
From the depths of the sea to the depths of the jungle, there are reefs, ruins, dolphins, monkeys in the wild -crocodiles and flamingos in their natural habitats- world-class, big-game, bottom or flat fishing, and more, with the 'Expert' from 'MayaQuest', John Pastore , and his friends: the Maya. Confirmations are limited.
Day, Over-Night and Customized Excursions (via ground transport or air-taxi) with hotel options in Cancún's Beach Zone and Village-Like Town, Isla Mujeres, Playa del Carmen, Valladolid, San Felipe, Izamal PLUS Mérida and the Puuc Region are available.
Visits with on-site archaeologists, anthropologists and biologists (marine and terrestrial) are possible; and Private Air-Taxi excursions are arrangeable. We also have extensions to Mexico City and environs (and, from Mexico City to: Cuernavaca, Taxco and Acapulco) and Cuba (from Cancún only)!
