Highlights

Discover two very different cenote environments alongside the ancient Maya world of Chichén Itzá. At Cenote Xkeken, descend into an underground cavern surrounded by limestone formations and clear freshwater. Continue to Cenote Samulá, where tree roots extend through the natural opening above the cavern and sunlight reaches the turquoise water below. Between these natural experiences, explore Chichén Itzá with an expert guide and discover its iconic Maya architecture, including the Temple of Kukulcán and other important structures. A brief stop in Valladolid offers a glimpse of Yucatán’s colonial heritage before continuing the journey. After a full day of history, cenotes, and local culture, relax on the way back to Cancun and enjoy a comfortable return to your hotel.

About Cancun

Cancun pairs a long ribbon of white-sand beaches and turquoise Caribbean water with Maya ruins, cenotes and islands all within easy reach.

The Hotel Zone curves along a narrow strip of land between the Caribbean and the Nichupté Lagoon, lined with resorts and beaches such as Playa Delfines, where the sand is powder-soft and the sea glows in every shade of blue. Downtown Cancun, on the mainland, is where locals eat and shop, with taquerías and evening stalls around Parque de las Palapas.

Top-ranked sights in Cancun: Chichen Itza, Tulum Archeological Site, Isla Mujeres.
