Tour Details

At the designated time, our team will collect you from your accommodation in Cancun and embark on a journey to the awe-inspiring sacred city of Chichen Itza. This area was one of the foremost centers of governance and spirituality in the Mayan civilization.

Following a scenic 3-hour drive, we will arrive at the archaeological site, where you will join an expertly guided tour lasting about 1 hour. Within this time, you will admire notable structures such as the remarkable Castle or Pyramid of Kukulkan, the Ball Court, the Temple of the Warriors, among other significant monuments that have intrigued scholars and adventurers through the ages. After this guided segment, an hour of free time will be allocated for you to explore the site at leisure and capture countless photographs.

Our journey continues to the Hacienda Selva Maya, home of the Saamal cenote. Here, you will be treated to 2 hours for relaxation and swimming in its crystal-clear waters, complemented by a delightful buffet lunch featuring regional specialties, all set amidst a stunning natural landscape.
