Torres del Paine is among the biggest of Chile’s national parks, occupying almost 600,000 acres (242,000 ha) of land in the south on the border with Argentina. It is also among the most important, receiving a significant proportion of domes Like any American, traveling occasionally is just what I love doing and I bet you share the same stuff with me. But traveling does not mean that you would be safe. Escaping from our job and other stressful activities is just something that w

the views from every angle were incredible.  Furthermore theinformative guide helped us to better understand the history and geology of theregion.  I can comfortably say that everyone in the group wasimpressed.  The waterways passing through the cave connected directly tothe sea and provided a crystal clear view of the bottom 12 - 100 feet below.The cave tour ended will an above ground walk through the jungle and past aflock of white tailed dear, which were close enough to almost touch.  Thisis when the guide began telling us the cave was discovered 30 years ago byfarmers searching for gum trees.  Centuries ago the Mayan used the cavesystem as a hurricane shelter and also believed it was a pathway of the Gods.After the brief hiatus at the snack bar we were stripped of our hard hats andled back into the jungle past a family of spider monkeys kept in a largeenclosure.  We stopped for a few photos, but hurried excitedly on as theone hour zip line tour was next.The zip lines were certainly the most exciting part of our adventure,especially because none of my employees, except Claudia, had ever been on onebefore - they had never even worn a harness.  I have been doing this sinceI was a child at gymnastics camp.  Although many were nervous, everyonewent, except for Connie, who is 6 months pregnant.  The zip lines were notas high as those at Xplor, but certainly allowed you to get closer tonature.  The 10 zip lines at Aktun Chen snake through the jungle at aboutmid-tree level and pass rather close to the trees whereas at Xplor theyessentially cut down most of the trees, and you are traveling above the treetops.  For at least an hour you do not touch ground, but rather take offand land on sturdy make-shift tree forts, and even traverse 2 suspendedbridges.  At every stage we were securely attached to a cable to preventan accidental personnel plummet.Althoughthe first one or two zip lines required some encouragement and prodding on thepart of my employees, by the end of the 6th zip line, people were becoming moreadventurous - going backwards and even upside down.  We enjoyed seeingthese humble yet hardworking people open up and expand their experiences andtest their courage.  Our maintenance man Luis commented that he didn'twant to come back to work - that he was going to work at the park.  Veryfunny, I mused.Thelast part of the adventure involved a 10 minute drive into the jungle to abelow ground cenote with spectacular ceiling views of the jagged rocksabove.  The water, although cold, was this pristine blue color, that madethe whole cave sparkle.  We brought our own snorkel equipment (you canrent it there), and were forced to wear life jackets.  I probably shouldalso mention they sprayed us with a cold hose before entering the water to washoff any sweat and sunblock.  The cenote is definitely worth it, especiallyas a way to cool down after a long but enjoyable day.Although Aktun Chen is a ways from Playa del Carmen compared to Xplor, it isless expensive as does offer a more authentic experience, as Xplor is more likea theme park (albeit an amazing one).  Furthermore Aktun Chen is also partzoo, allows you to become familiar with the native wildlife and offers a guidedcave tour.  I would definitely say this employee field trip was a success,and is certainly a step up from our employee party last year which involved mypool and a BBQ.  Aktun Chen will definitely make it on my list ofactivities provided to our Playa del Carmenrental guests.  Akthn Chen can be found at http://www.aktunchen.com/HOME_ing.htm.
