Itinerary
We will depart from the city of Mérida and travel to the town of Acanceh, located approximately one hour away. Here, we will visit a small archaeological site, where you will enjoy a first introduction to the history and culture of the ancient Maya civilization before continuing with the rest of your tour.
Less than 30 minutes from Acanceh, we will arrive at the town of Homún, home to the beautiful Santa Bárbara Cenotes. Here, you will choose between traveling by bicycle or a small cart train to reach the cenotes. During your visit, you will have the opportunity to swim in four different cenotes: one cave cenote, one semi-open cave cenote, and two open-air cenotes, each offering a unique and unforgettable experience.
Final Stop: Traditional Yucatecan Lunch After enjoying the cenotes, we will head to the restaurant located within the same complex, where you will savor a traditional Yucatecan meal featuring some of the region's most authentic flavors.

About Mérida
Mérida, capital of Yucatán, is a Spanish colonial city of grand boulevards and mansions, a base for Maya ruins, cenotes and flamingo lagoons.
Francisco de Montejo the Younger founded Mérida in 1542 on the site of a Maya town, and stone from its temples went into the cathedral and houses. The Plaza Grande is the heart of the city, with the cathedral of San Ildefonso, the Governor's Palace, whose walls are covered by murals of Maya history, and the Casa de Montejo, with an ornate carved façade. The low colonial houses of the centre gave the city its nickname, the White City.
Top-ranked sights in Mérida: Chacchoben, Merida Cathedral (Catedral de San Ildefonso), Main Square (Plaza Grande).
