Itinerary
Discover the breathtaking ancient city of Chichen Itza, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Accompanied by a professional guide, you'll explore this iconic archaeological site while learning about the history, architecture, and remarkable achievements of the ancient Maya civilization. Admire the majestic Kukulkan Pyramid (El Castillo), the Great Ball Court, the Temple of the Warriors, the Observatory (El Caracol), and other impressive monuments that made Chichen Itza one of the most important cities of the Maya world. You'll also have free time to take photos and explore the site at your own pace.
After visiting Chichen Itza, you'll stop at Yun Chen Cenote or Xkokay Cenote, depending on daily availability. You'll have time to swim in the cenote's refreshing crystal-clear waters, relax, and enjoy this unique natural setting. If you prefer not to swim, you can stay in the park, unwind, take photos, or simply enjoy the beautiful surroundings while the rest of the group enjoys the cenote experience.
During your visit to Valladolid, you'll have free time to explore the charming historic downtown at your own pace. Take photos in the main square, visit the historic San Servacio Church, enjoy local treats such as marquesitas, esquites, or freshly made churros, shop for handmade local crafts, or have lunch at one of the nearby restaurants or cafés. On certain days, you may also have the opportunity to enjoy cultural performances or traditional Maya shows in the town center. If your visit coincides with one of these events, it's a wonderful chance to experience the rich traditions and culture of Yucatán.

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.
