Detailed itinerary

Stop 1
For the Mayans, this city was the main center of the sea and land commerce in the area. Nowadays, it captivates everyone who visits it. It was built on a cliff from which you can see the turquoise tones of the Caribbean Sea in all its splendor.

Stop 2
For many years Coba was an ignored piece of Mayan history due to its location, archeologists first learned about the site in the mid-1800s, but dense jungle, the Caste War, and lack of funds made this site a difficult area to penetrate. Archeologists have estimated that 6,000 structures exist, but only three settlements are for public viewing.
3
Tankach-ha, means in Mayan language “deep water”. The cenote deeps goes from 14ft to 114ft, If you have diving skills or you are a daredevil this is the perfect place for jump to the water from two platforms. There is no better way to cool of, than jumping in this clear water cave cenote.
If you are not an adventures person, you don’t have to jump to the water, there are two wood platforms where you could go to swim around the cenote and relax and enjoy this big cave cenote.
4
The Ahau Chooc Village, a community of five Mayan families that is dedicated to demonstrating the customs, crafts and gastronomy of this area, is a great example of groups where women play a fundamental role and exemplify prosperity in a Mayan settlement.
