Chichen Itza is a world-renowned archaeological site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. It is the most famous complex of Mayan ruins in Mexico and a monumental testament to the advanced astronomical and architectural knowledge of the Mayan civilization.

The most iconic structure is the majestic Kukulkan Pyramid (El Castillo), a stepped pyramid that functions as a giant calendar. During the spring and autumn equinoxes, the sun casts a shadow in the shape of a serpent descending the staircase, an amazing phenomenon that attracts thousands of visitors.

Your adventure will be led by a certified guide, an expert on the history and secrets of this civilization. Unlike other, more crowded sites, in Chichen Itzá, you can walk and appreciate the majesty of its structures up close.

To culminate the experience, a refreshing swim in a cenote with crystal-clear waters awaits you, a mystical and purifying experience that will allow you to connect with the nature of the Mayan jungle.

Valladolid is a charming colonial city in the state of Yucatán, known as "The Pearl of the East." It's distinguished by its viceregal architecture, colorful streets, and a quiet, authentic atmosphere that makes it a must-see destination for those looking to immerse themselves in Yucatan culture.

Valladolid has been designated a "Pueblo Mágico" (Magic Town) of Mexico, in recognition of its rich history, culture, and beauty. It's one of the oldest cities on the Yucatán Peninsula, founded in 1543.

It's the perfect end to a day full of history, culture, and natural beauty.
