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.
The Fábrica de Tequila Mayapan, or Mayapan Agave Distillery, is a fascinating place located near the colonial city of Valladolid, in Yucatán.

Accompanied by an expert, you'll learn everything about the production process, from harvesting the blue agave ("jima") in the fields to distillation and aging in barrels. It's an educational experience that lets you see traditional techniques up close.
The distillery is set in a beautiful natural environment, with agave fields that contribute to a visually appealing and authentic experience.
The tour culminates with a tasting of their different products, allowing you to appreciate the various flavors and aromas of the distilled spirit.
