Itinerary

  • Mayapan Archaeological Zone

    Spend your day learning about ancient Mayan culture at the Ruins of Mayapan. Afterward, an adventure deep into the heart of the Yucatan Peninsula.Upon your arrival at Mayapan, you will first notice the 5.65 miles (9.1 km) long wall surrounding the site, this is arguably the largest defense wall found anywhere in Mesoamerica. Evidence that Anthropologists have uncovered at the site suggests that Mayapan was once the capital of the Mayans during the Late Post-Classic period. Your knowledgeable guide will show you all of the most important buildings in the center of the site, from the largest pyramid the Temple of Kukulcan, and around the ceremonial center which oratories, colonnaded halls, temples, sanctuaries, shrines, platforms, and altars. An estimated population of around 12,000 once lived inside the walled city. After about 45 minutes you will have seen all the best sites and will return to your transportation to head off towards your next stop, Nah Yah cenote.

  • N/A

    Disembark and find yourself surrounded by jungle, follow your guide to a wooden staircase that descends into an opening in the ground. As you climb 27 feet (9 meters) down and your eyes adjust, you will see the sparkling blue water of the cenote below. Take in the cracks and crevices of the limestone surrounding this large underground body of water, 72 feet (22 meters) long by 78 feet (24 meters) wide and a maximum depth of 88 feet (27 meters). Jump in from the wooden platform to refresh yourself in the cool fresh water, just be sure to not use any sunscreen as the oils can damage the delicate ecosystem. After about 1 hour you will again board the transportation and return to the cruise terminal!

Wonderful

Published on Dec, 2024

Great experience, I wish the original ruins were open . But they took care of us and Antonio was a great guide with alot of knowledge.

Great experience!

Published on Jan, 2023

Great experience with the whole team. Had Bianca as our guide for the day and was a great tour outside of our cruise offerings with a lot of 1:1 conversion with there only being 7 people in our whole group.

Great destinations, but Progreso Bus back to the cruise ship was a nightmare.

Published on Jan, 2023

The good: Antonio was kind and knowledgeable (even though he is Spanish speaking). We had a private tour, and the Mayapan Ruins and Nayah Cenote were just spectacular. The bad: Jose was not at the cruise ship terminal when my family got off the ship. (We were there at 8:35, supposed to meet at 8:30). Antonio spoke Spanish only, so between google translate and his broken English we made it work. We also had to pay for our entrance fees to the Mayapan ruins (12$) and the Nayah Cenote (16$) which wasn’t a huge deal, but I would expect that for a family of 4 and spending $530 for this tour, I would expect the fees to be pre paid. Also the shuttle in Progreso was really overwhelmed by the tourists coming back from their excursions. We got to the bus terminal at 2:30 Pm, waited for 35 min to get on the bus to get to the cruise ship. We got to the cruise ship by 3:20. We were supposed to be on board at 3:30 pm. There were so many people still at the bus terminal at 3:30pm. They held the cruise ship for everyone, but I would have appreciated a carnival tour and be dropped off at the cruise terminal to avoid the bus hassle.

Wonderful Experience

Published on Aug, 2019

Our tour guides were Arturo and Jose. They were very informative and helpful. The bus ride was long but not bad. The Mayan Ruins were beautiful and just unbelievable to walk through. My three boys and I loved climbing the ruins and walking all across the land and exploring it all. It was very hot but well worth it. The Cenotes swim was incredible! Such beautiful surroundings and the swim in the freshwater was wonderful. My family and I had a great time and would definitely recommend it! Arturo and Jose were great guides!

Carnival Valor Excursion

Published on Jul, 2019

This excursion was very good. Super Mario & Spicy were our tour guides and did a wonderful job. The Mayan ruins were awesome. I only wish we hard more time to spend there. The Cenote swim was AMAZING. They were beautiful. The lunch we had after that was really good. will definitely do this again the next time I stop at this port.
