About this experience
Discover the ancient Maya world on a guided visit to Chichén Itzá, one of Mexico’s most impressive archaeological sites. Wander among legendary landmarks like the Kukulkán Pyramid, the Temple of the Warriors, the Observatory and the Great Ball Court while your guide brings the history, myths and mysteries of this incredible place to life.
After exploring the ruins, it’s time to cool off with a swim in Cenote Noolhá, a hidden jungle gem with crystal clear waters, lush greenery and dramatic rock formations all around. If conditions or availability change, the experience may take place at Cenote Chichikan instead, another beautiful cenote with a calm, magical vibe.
Finish the day in Valladolid, a colorful colonial town perfect for a relaxed stroll. Enjoy free time to explore its charming streets, pick up local crafts or try some delicious regional food before heading back.
