What to expect

A duo of Mexican delights await on this full day tour from Cancun. The adventure begins at the break of dawn with a journey to experience the wonder of Chichen Itza, a UNESCO-listed ancient Maya city. Then, wind down with a swim in a natural underground cenote cave. Hugo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The early start is worth it – we'll arrive first thing in the morning to experience the magic of the ruins in the soft sunlight and beat the heat'.

A guided tour of the ruined city reveals the stories of this remarkable site. It's not hard to imagine the daily lives of the community that lived here and built these impressive monuments. After the guided tour, enjoy free time to make the most of exploring this archaeological treasure trove as you wish. Hugo adds, ‘This ancient city isn't just about admiring the grandeur of El Castillo, but also about feeling the pulse of the Maya civilization that thrived here centuries ago. Don't miss the Great Ball Court—imagine the echoes of the past as players competed in this very spot.'

Next, you'll be whisked away to Cenote Tsukán. Cenotes are believed by the Maya to be portals to the underworld, and they are revered in traditional culture. Here, you will plunge into the limpid waters, participate in a traditional ceremony and feel your senses awaken in glorious natural surroundings. Afterwards, you'll enjoy a tasty local lunch, savouring the flavours of regional cuisine prepared with fresh, local ingredients.

    We could have have been a bit more information about feeder buses and a breakfast being offered. But the whole day was very well organised and it was very interesting.

    Brilliant trip. Our guide Fabian as incredible with is knowledge and the way he managed the group. My only thought would be more time needed at the cenote. At least 1 hr extra to really enjoy the cenote and buffet food. Also grounds were beautiful

    ????? This tour was an excellent experience from start to finish. The guide (Nefy)was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience both engaging and informative. Everything was well organized, and we got to see and learn far more than we would have on our own. The pace was comfortable, and there was plenty of time for questions and photos. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting — it was a real highlight of the trip.

    Guide was excellent, great idea using the headphone. Transport was very cramped for a 3 hour drive each way.
