Detailed itinerary

1
Stop 1

After exploring the ancient wonders of Chichén Itzá, you’ll journey to a hidden jewel of the Yucatán: Cenote Ik Kil. Enclosed by lush vegetation and open to the sky, this sacred sinkhole was once considered a gateway to the gods—a place where the Maya connected with the spiritual world.

Cool off with a refreshing swim in its crystal-clear waters as beams of sunlight pour through the opening above, illuminating the cavern in a surreal glow. Long vines cascade from the rim, touching the surface like nature’s own curtain, while the deep, still waters invite reflection, serenity, and renewal.

Let the cool embrace of the cenote wash away the heat and awaken your senses.

After your swim, recharge with a delicious buffet of traditional Yucatecan dishes, prepared with local ingredients and authentic flavors. From handmade tortillas to cochinita pibil and regional specialties, every bite connects you to the rich culinary heritage of the region.

Stop 2

Step into a land where time stands still and ancient spirits whisper through the stones. Deep in the Yucatán jungle lies Chichén Itzá, a sacred city where the Maya observed the stars, honored their gods, and built one of the most advanced civilizations of their time.

Walk the ceremonial paths once traveled by priests and warriors. With the guidance of an expert, uncover the meaning behind each structure—from the Temple of Kukulcán, where the sun creates a serpent of light during the equinox, to the Temple of the Warriors, still guarded by stone sentinels.

Discover the secrets of the Sacred Cenote, once believed to be a portal to the underworld and used in powerful rituals.

After your guided exploration, enjoy free time to absorb the energy of this legendary site, take stunning photos, or simply reflect in silence.

Optional: Visit local artisan stalls offering handcrafted souvenirs, echoing the legacy of this ancient world.

Next, we’ll guide you to Cenote Hubiku, a hidden sanctuary in the heart of the Yucatán. Tucked within a limestone cavern, this sacred place invites you to step into a world of silence, reflection, and natural beauty.

As you descend into the cenote, the temperature cools and light filters through an opening above, casting golden beams onto the turquoise waters below. The atmosphere feels almost otherworldly—peaceful, ancient, alive. Dive into the clear, refreshing water and float beneath centuries-old rock formations that have witnessed the passing of time in quiet solitude.

This magical place offers more than just a swim—it’s a moment to pause, breathe, and feel connected to the earth and the wisdom of the Maya, who once revered cenotes as sacred entrances to the underworld.

Whether you seek adventure, serenity, or a deeper connection to nature, Hubiku will leave you with something unforgettable.

To complete this journey through time and tradition, you'll visit Valladolid, one of Yucatán’s most charming Pueblos Mágicos. With its colorful colonial architecture, peaceful plazas, and deep cultural roots, this town offers a perfect blend of history and everyday life.

You’ll have free time to wander its cobblestone streets, explore hidden corners, and feel the rhythm of a place where the past and present coexist in harmony. Admire the façade of the San Servacio Church, built by the Spanish in the 16th century, standing proudly on the edge of the main square—a place that invites both reflection and photos.

Take a moment to sit under the shade of ancient trees in the central park, where locals gather and life moves slowly. This is also a great opportunity to browse local shops for handcrafted souvenirs, made with techniques passed down through generations.

Valladolid is not just a stop—it’s a feeling, a final breath of culture before returning from your journey
