Itinéraire

1. Cenotes are unique to the Yucatan Peninsula, natural limestone sinkholes of incredible natural beauty that are perfect for a refreshing swim in a jungle oasis. Immerse yourself in the crystalline waters and admire the spectacular rock formations!

   1 hEntrée incluse

2. Step into Naayil Kú Maya Village for an immersive cultural encounter guided by the Maya themselves. You’ll be welcomed by a Maya warrior and a shaman before walking a sacred jungle path filled with stories and symbolism. Receive a traditional blessing and cleansing, then browse a small handicrafts shop showcasing locally made pieces. The highlight is a live Mayan Ball Game demonstration performed by authentic warriors, followed by a tequila tasting.

   1 hEntrée incluse

3. The Mayan ruins of Ek Balam may be less famous than Chichen Itza but they are spectacular! Climb the incredible Acropolis and admire the exceptional carvings and art of the ancient Maya that has been so well preserved and maintained and enjoy the view from the top.

   1 hEntrée incluse

4. Depart Playa del Carmen and travel by air-conditioned minivan to Chichen Itzá, stopping for a 10-minute break along the way. Arrive at the sacred city of the Itzáes, where the sun ( k’in Ahau in the Mayan language) sets on March 21 and September 21 during the spring and fall equinoxes. Marvel at the great "pyramid" of Kukulkan Castle and discover an icon of astronomical, architectural, mathematical and engineering wisdom. Together with the platforms, the castle tells a story of the past through its many sculptures and representations of feathered serpents. See the masks of Chaac, the god of rain said to live in the sacred cenote (entrance to the underworld). Admire ancient engravings and glyphs established by the gods, according to the sacred book of "Popol Vuj." Explore the Astronomical Observatory (also known as "The Snail") and the area of the church, where masks from the Mayan classic period can be found.

About Cancún

Cancún associe un long ruban de plages de sable blanc et d'eau turquoise des Caraïbes à des ruines mayas, des cénotes et des îles toutes proches.

La zone hôtelière s'incurve le long d'une étroite bande de terre entre les Caraïbes et la lagune de Nichupté, bordée de complexes hôteliers et de plages comme Playa Delfines, où le sable est doux comme de la poudre et où la mer brille de toutes les nuances de bleu. Le centre de Cancún, sur le continent, est l'endroit où les habitants mangent et font leurs courses, avec ses taquerías et ses étals du soir autour du Parque de las Palapas.
