Journey Begins Here

You’ll be picked up either at a central meeting point or directly from your hotel in Cancún. Your certified local guide will greet you and explain the day’s plan before making sure everything like tickets is sorted for departure.

Highlights of the Day

Chichén Itzá:

A UNESCO World Heritage site, Chichén Itzá ranks among the New Seven Wonders of the World and stands as one of Mexico’s most important Mayan ruins. As you walk through its ancient structures, your guide will explain their historical importance.

Features

You’ll visit Chichén Itzá, a top attraction from the Mayan civilization listed among the New Seven Wonders of the World. Highlights include El Castillo, the Great Ball Court, and the Temple of the Warriors. Then head to the Sacred Cenote, where you can take a refreshing swim in this natural underground sinkhole that was once used by the Maya for rituals.

Valladolid is next on your itinerary—this charming colonial town boasts cobblestone streets and colorful buildings that reflect Yucatán’s rich culture. A Mexican-style buffet lunch will keep you energized after all the activity, with plenty of options to choose from.
