Highlights
Discover Uxmal in a more authentic and personal way. Our tours take place in small groups, allowing you to enjoy a more comfortable and close experience. The grandeur of Uxmal stands out for its elegant architecture and impressive mosaics dedicated to the god of rain. Marvel at the Temple of the Soothsayer and visit the Governor’s Palace where you will get spectacular views. We will continue to a traditional cuisine where its charm lies: genuine flavors, local ingredients and a completely authentic experience that will connect you with the true gastronomy of the region. We will visit two rural cenotes administered by the inhabitants themselves. You can swim inside these natural pools formed thousands of years ago, surrounded by jungle and in a much more authentic environment. Your visit also has a positive impact, as it directly contributes to the livelihood of local families. A day combining history, taste and nature.

Itinerary
This archaeological gem, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most impressive Mayan cities in the Puuc region, famous for its elegant architecture, detailed stone mosaics and deep historical value. Uxmal stands out for its harmonious design and symbolism, largely dedicated to the god of rain, Chaac, whose representations you can see on multiple facades and where you can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of the site, perfect to capture unforgettable photographs.
Mulix is a small village, here we will enjoy typical Yucatecan cuisine from the region or as we call it a fondita, and although it seems humble, the traditional way and the flavor of the stews will delight you
In the Puuc region there are also numerous cenotes, true natural treasures of the peninsula. During the tour we will visit Dzombakal and Xbatun, community cenotes administered by the inhabitants themselves, who protect and share these unique spaces. Here you can swim in crystal clear waters inside these natural pools formed thousands of years ago, surrounded by jungle and in a much more authentic and calm environment. Beyond the experience, your visit also has a positive impact, as it directly contributes to the livelihood of local families and the care of these impressive ecosystems.

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).
