What you can expect

Join us on a one-day cultural tour to explore the richness of Mayan civilization, with the option of transport from Cancun or the Riviera Maya to Chichen Itza, one of the Seven New Wonders of the World, known for its amazing preservation as an ancient city. The experience includes a delicious Mexican buffet lunch (depending on the option you choose), a tequila tasting, and visits to iconic spots like Valladolid and a cenote.

The day kicks off with a visit to Chichén Itzá. With an expert guide, you'll explore the most amazing spots in the ancient Mayan city. You'll get to see the majestic Pyramid of Kukulcán, which is really impressive with its size and perfect astronomical alignment. You'll also check out El Caracol, an ancient Mayan observatory, and other cool spots in the archaeological zone that give you a deep look into the engineering and culture of this amazing people.

Chichén Itzá was a thriving hub of power between the Late Classic (600 AD) and Early Postclassic (1200 AD) periods, and became a major pilgrimage spot for the Mayans. This visit will help you understand how the city played a key role in the politics, religion, and social life of the Mayan civilization, and why its legacy is still so relevant today.

Then, you'll get to enjoy a stop at a cenote, a natural wonder and sacred space for the Mayans, where you can cool off and connect with nature.

You'll get to enjoy a tasty buffet lunch with the best of Mexican cuisine (depending on the option you choose) along with a tequila tasting, where you can learn more about this iconic traditional drink from the region.

Finally, we'll explore Valladolid, a charming colonial city famous for its historic Convent of San Bernardino de Siena, built in the 16th century, and the Baroque-style Cathedral of San Gervasio. It's the perfect spot to dive into the region's history.

Throughout this tour, you'll see the amazing architecture, complex spiritual beliefs, and fascinating stories of a people who left a deep mark on world history. Plus, you'll get to snap some amazing photos and soak in the grandeur of these ancient treasures. The order of activities might change for operational reasons
