About this experience

Step back in time with a visit to Chichén Itzá, one of the most iconic cities of the ancient Maya. Explore impressive landmarks like the Kukulkan Pyramid, Temple of the Warriors, the Observatory, and the massive Ball Court. Your guide will share fascinating stories that bring these ruins to life, with plenty of time to wander and snap unforgettable photos.

After exploring, cool off with a swim in Cenote Noolhá, a hidden jungle gem with crystal-clear water, towering rock walls, and tropical greenery all around. Depending on availability, we may visit Cenote Chichikan instead, just as beautiful with its own cave-like charm and peaceful vibe.

Wrap up the adventure in Valladolid, a colorful colonial town full of charm. Stroll the cobblestone streets, browse local shops, and enjoy some delicious Yucatecan bites before heading back.
