Active Mexico: From Cenote Diving to Desert Yoga

Hiking, yoga, wild swimming and more—Mexico’s natural diversity is made for movement

Mexico has long been known for its beaches, cuisine and ancient heritage—but it’s also fast becoming a go-to destination for active holidays. With environments ranging from desert landscapes and mountain trails to tropical waters and underground rivers, the country offers a wide spectrum of experiences for travellers seeking movement, mindfulness and connection to nature.

Yoga in Baja

Yoga retreats in Baja California powered by Jadeom Yoga & Journeys  

The south of Baja California (also known as Baja California Sur) is increasingly becoming the focus of travellers looking for decelerated active travel and nature experiences in the upscale luxury segment, especially in the Los Cabos area.

Small yoga and nature retreats are particularly popular and will be offered by Native Trails in the European winter season in cooperation with yoga travel specialist Jadeom Yoga & Journeys from November 2025 to April 2026. The optional 8- and 11-day yoga retreats in small groups with German and English-speaking certified yoga guides can be combined with beach extensions or individual follow-up programs. Jadeom‘s CEO Janina Kapitza, a 500h certified yoga teacher herself, is connecting her passion for travel with yoga, building cross-cultural bridges by guiding her groups personally through Mexico´s hidden gems off the beaten tourist trails.

The group tours highlights are daily sunrise and sunset yoga classes, silent beach and nature walks, guided meditations in natural surroundings, vegan board available and time to slow down at delicately picked wellness resorts. Besides the yoga theme, your clients will get to experience the natural aspects of Baja California‘s unique flora and fauna. All yoga levels are welcome.

Wild Swimming Cenotes Baja

Cenote Diving and Wild Swimming in the Yucatán

The Mexican Caribbean‘s Yucatán Peninsula is home to countless cenotes—natural freshwater sinkholes that are part of a vast underground river system. Many are open to the public for swimming or guided diving. Beyond their physical beauty, cenotes carry spiritual and historical significance for the Mayan culture, making each swim a cultural encounter as well. Popular diving spots include Dos Ojos, Gran Cenote, and Cenote Angelita, each offering different depths, formations, and biodiversity for which a special diving license is mandatory for experienced divers.
