About this experience

Begin your journey at Villa Maya, where a Mayan shaman welcomes you with a traditional healing ritual—a spiritual experience that connects you with the energy of the land and prepares you for the day ahead.

Then enjoy a regional buffet breakfast at Yaax Kiin Restaurant, featuring handmade tortillas, cochinita pibil, fruits, and more.

Continue to Chichén Itzá, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, where you’ll explore the Pyramid of Kukulkán, the Temple of the Warriors, and the Great Ball Court with a certified guide who will share the cosmic and cultural secrets of this ancient city.

Afterward, cool off at Cenote Saamal, a sacred natural sinkhole with turquoise waters and dramatic limestone walls. Swimming here is both refreshing and deeply spiritual.
