Chichén Itzá, Izamal, & Valladolid Tour

Embark on a scenic day trip to the charming town of Izamal as we also explore Valladolid and the renowned site of Chichen Itza!

Description

Our journey begins at your selected Merida pickup location. From there, we head towards Valladolid for a delightful exploration of its picturesque avenues. This city ranks as the third most populated in the Yucatan peninsula.

Over the course of an hour, we will admire key landmarks, including the impressive San Bernardino de Siena convent, a fortified edifice dating back to the 16th century, alongside the striking Cathedral of San Gervasio, styled in Baroque architecture.

After our sightseeing in Valladolid, we will pause for a buffet lunch at a nearby restaurant, featuring an array of traditional dishes from Yucatan.

Rejuvenated, we'll proceed to Chichen Itza, an archaeological marvel recognized as a World Heritage Site. Here, you'll explore its iconic temples, the area designated for the ancient ball game, the observatory, and various notable structures.

Our adventure culminates in Izamal, one of Mexico's celebrated Pueblos Mágicos, also known as "the yellow city." Enjoy a guided 1.5 hour tour through this historic center to discover why it holds such a name. Among the highlights is the Convent of San Antonio de Padua, constructed by Franciscan monks in the 16th century atop ancient Mayan pyramids.

With memories in hand, we will return to Merida, concluding our journey about 12 hours after we set off.
