What to expect

Embark on a full-day adventure to discover one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, the legendary Chichen Itza and the iconic Kukulcan Pyramid. Uncover the secrets of this ancient archaeological site, refresh yourself with a swim in a peaceful cenote, and capture vibrant photos in the charming colonial town of Valladolid. Enjoy a delicious buffet lunch and a comfortable coach ride between each remarkable stop.

Your journey begins with a hotel pickup, followed by a visit to Cenote Xunáan, a stunning freshwater pool nestled inside a sunlit limestone cave—perfect for a surreal swim. If you’d rather stay dry, head over to a sample a variety of homemade Tequilas and get a glimpse of the production process.

Afterwards, indulge in a buffet lunch featuring traditional Maya dishes like slow-cooked marinated pork. Then, hop back on the bus for the scenic ride to Chichen Itza. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to impressive ruins and well-preserved temples, including the awe-inspiring Kukulcan Pyramid and the majestic Great Ball Court—among the most remarkable and intact structures of their kind.

Before you leave, explore the nearby Sacred Cenote, and then relax on the bus for the final leg of the trip. Your last stop is the peaceful town of Valladolid, where the colourful colonial architecture provides the perfect backdrop for photos. Your tour concludes as you make your way back, filled with unforgettable memories.
