Itinerary

  • Cenote Saamal

    You can swim, if you wish, in this beautiful sacred cenote of the Mayan Culture and immerse yourself in its crystal clear and refreshing waters. The cenotes, also known as "ojos de agua" were very important to the Mayans, from a ceremonial point of view to survival.

    1 hour

  • Chichen Itza

    Here you will have a guided tour of the Mayan Chichén Itzá ceremonial center accompanied by one of our certified guides, later you will have free time to explore the Mayan city on your own.

    2 hours

  • Temple of the Warriors

    The Temple of the Warriors is one of the most impressive and important structures at Chichén Itzá. It may be the only known Late Classic Maya building large enough to accommodate truly large gatherings.

    10 minutes

  • El Caracol

    The so-called Caracol or Observatory is a structure built in the form of a larger circular tower set on a platform with a central staircase. The base sits on another rectangular platform, decorated with a cornice with rounded corners at the top. El Caracol is actually built with three superimposed buildings.

    10 minutes

  • Gran Juego de Pelota

    The Ball Game was more of a ceremonial ritual than a sport and probably represented the symbolic recreation of the mythical combat between night and day. There is a unique acoustic phenomenon in the ballcourt: if one speaks in the temple at the south end, the voice can be heard at the opposite end, as the sound reverberates along the walls of the north temple.

    10 minutes

  • El Castillo

    The Castillo or Pyramid of Kukulcan is a four-sided pyramid, with a rectangular temple on top. The phenomenon of light and shadow, worthy testimony of the amazing progress of the Maya in architecture and astronomy is the phenomenon of "light and shadow" that takes place on the north staircase of the Castle during the Spring Equinox where you can see descending a snake down the stairs The sun casts seven triangles of light on the balustrade on the northeast side of the Castle. These begin to move up and down along the balustrade to form the silhouette of a descending serpent.

    30 minutes

  • Valladolid

    We will make a brief visit to the main square of the beautiful picturesque town of Valladolid named as Pueblo Mágico for preserving the architecture and traditions of the locals. *If the local health authorities do not allow the descent, a brief stop will be made only on top of the transport.

    30 minutes

Recommended, we hope to return soon

Published on Jan, 2024

It was an incredible experience to be in one of the 7 wonders of the world with the warmth and friendliness of the guides Lalo and Tony who made our trip fun all the time. We recommend this excursion to anyone who wants to have a memorable time.

Fantastic attention and kindness

Published on Sep, 2023

The attention received by the staff has been fantastic, our guide Rudy really has knowledge of the place and the Mayan culture and kindly answers any questions you may have. We received everything that was advertised and were happy, we will definitely do it again.

Amazing experience worth taking

Published on Jul, 2023

From our hotel pick up at 6:30 am to our return 9:35 pm, this is one of the best tours my husband and I have taken. Our tour guide Lalo was very knowledable of the Mexican and mayan history. He kept us entertained throughout thw whole day with valuable and interesting information about everywhere we went. The tour had several stops: magic mayan town of Yaax Kin where we were greeted by a mayan shaman and had an energy cleanse, we had time to shop for souvenirs, learn about the importance of cacao for the mayans and then enjoyed a delicious lunch buffet prepared by the mayan villagers. Next stop was Chichen Itza (AMAZING!) where we toured 1 hour with a guide and had 1 hour to tour on our own. Then we continued on to the Cenote Saamal, which after the heat we endured at Chichen Itza was great to cool off. Finally, we visited the colonial town of Valladolid where we had 30 min to buy souvenirs, snacks or ice cream. From what we could see, it seems that all tours gather at a central meeting point in the hotel zone where you sign in and pay the Chichen Itza tax mentioned in the description. Then you are assigned your tour bus.. The only other thing you need to pay is the lifevest and locker at the Cenote, if you are going to go into it. Some tours include beverages, ours didn’t. But it was no big deal because we brought some and purchased at the different places. At all stops you can buy water, soda or gatorade and you can pay with mexican pesos or credit card with no problem. Overall, we loved the tour and will recommend to all our family and friends who come to Cancun. We will return as well!!

New Year's Eve at Chichen Itza

Published on Jan, 2023

We had a great day at the end of the year and although it was not the time of the equinox, it was an incredible moment to recharge energy and close a cycle and start a new one, I have to thank the guides who made this trip something memorable
