Deep in the jungle paths of Xel-Ha lie several freshwater pools, fed by underground currents that gradually flow out into the Xel-Ha River. Ixchel’s Gulf is a magical example, hosting adventure in a bewitching scenario of cool crystalline waters and immodestly green vegetation.

From a raised rock that oversees the gulf, a rope swing emulates the flight of the legendary macaw guardian, Mo. A leap off this rock sends one skimming over the deliciously cool, blue surface of the pool, until splashing into waters below.

Mo’s Flight is less than a ten-minute walk from the River’s starting point, or a twenty-minute walk from the south side of the Floating Bridge.
