Itinerary

  • Zona Arqueologica Uxmal

    Arrive at the UNESCO-listed archaeological site, and spend time exploring what's considered to be one of the most important sites in the Maya world in the company of your guide. Climb to the top of the Mayan Pyramid and visit the "temple of the turtle," where the female religious leaders lived. 

    3 hours

  • Cathedral de Merida

    After visiting Uxmal, continue your tour to Merida; the capital of the Yucatan peninsula. Constructed by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century, the colonial town has colorful historic buildings around a central plaza. Walk along the main street, visit the main square, and see a historic church.  At a nearby cacao museum, learn how the ancient Maya people used cacao beans, and see the preparation of cacao into natural chocolate. Before returning to your Cancun hotel, enjoy a final stop at a traditional Yucatan hacienda; the former house of rich conquistadors and their slaves.

Good experience for Uxmal, Merida and Cacao plant

Published on Aug, 2024

Our guide Arturo was informative and knowledgeable about all the sightseeing points. He told us about some Mexican cultures. Although the car journey was long, it was worth for visiting Uxmal and Merida. You do not need to spend a few days there. Just one day is enough. It was good to be a private tour, the guide take care of all you need.

Alvaro our guide, has great knowledge of the Mayan culture and of the whole region in general. The trip is intense but is totally worth it

Wonderful Uxmal

Published on Mar, 2024

It was a tough trip due to the car time but it is worth the archeological place is huge and spectacular! I do not think you need a night in Merida. Note: we travel with a 3 Years old kid and he loves the Cacao place where apart from Drink pure cacao you can also feed some monkeys adn see jaguars and ccrocodiles :)

DONT MOSS OUT ON THIS!

Published on Mar, 2023

This was one of thee best excursions I have ever had. We were able to climb and touch portions of the site. The guide did an excellent job of informing us of each structure and the role that each one played in the Mayan lifestyle. Showed amazing hospitality of what Mexico has to offer definitely don’t miss out
