Our Custom Tours
Upon making your reservation, you can select from a variety of options. All tours commence with pickup from your hotel in Mérida and include the return journey.
Tour to Uxmal & Kabah (8 hours)
Your adventure begins with a pickup from your accommodation in Mérida, followed by a journey to the Kabah archaeological site, nestled in the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula. This ancient site is dedicated to Chaac, the Maya god of rain.
Once there, you will have ample time to wander the grounds, admiring the intricate masks of the rain god that adorn the façade of the Codz Poop—the 'rolled mat'—while uncovering the rituals associated with rain-making. You can also stroll past the statues of Maya rulers and visit the palace, the largest structure within Kabah.
After completing your visit to Kabah, we will proceed to Uxmal, an archaeological marvel where you can appreciate the majesty of the Pyramid of the Magician, the House of the Governor, the House of the Doves, and the captivating Nunnery Quadrangle.
Tour to Chichén Itzá (4 hours)
This route takes you to the renowned Chichén Itzá archaeological site. Once we arrive, you will have around an hour to explore these stunning Maya ruins, recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.
Here, you will witness the impressive Temple of Kukulcan and the Ball Court, where you can learn about the fascinating myths associated with the deities of Chichén Itzá.
Tour to Chichén Itzá & Valladolid (11 hours)
If you wish to combine your visit to Chichén Itzá with an exploration of the historic city of Valladolid, this private tour from Mérida is ideal. You will initially visit the iconic archaeological site, and then continue to discover one of the oldest cities on the Yucatán Peninsula.
Ending Your Excursion in Different Locations
Should you prefer to remain in another city following your tour instead of returning to Mérida, options are available. You may choose to complete your Chichén Itzá tour in Playa del Carmen or Cancun, or end your Uxmal and Kabah visit in Campeche. We can provide drop-off at your preferred hotel in these locations.
