About this experience
Journey into the heart of the ancient Maya with a guided tour of Chichén Itzá, one of Mexico’s most celebrated archaeological wonders. Explore landmarks like the Kukulkan Pyramid, Temple of the Warriors, and the Great Ball Court as your expert guide shares the rich history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
After exploring the ruins, refresh with a swim in Cenote Noolhá, a secluded jungle cenote surrounded by lush nature and crystal-clear waters. Depending on availability, we may visit Cenote Chichikan instead, an equally breathtaking and serene alternative.
End your adventure in the charming colonial town of Valladolid, where you’ll have free time to wander, shop local crafts, or enjoy traditional Mexican food before returning.
