Your adventure starts with a convenient pickup directly at your accommodation or a designated meeting point, where our team will warmly welcome you. From there, you will set off on a scenic 2.5-hour drive to the spectacular Chichen Itza archaeological site.
Before arriving at Chichen Itza, you will make a short stop near local points of interest. Here, you will enjoy a delicious 1-hour buffet lunch featuring traditional Mexican flavors and authentic Yucatecan regional dishes. After lunch, the group will head on foot toward the main entrance.

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.
