Uxmal & Choco-Story Museum Tour

On this tour from Merida, we'll visit the archeological complex of Uxmal to discover the pre-colonization culture in this region. Also, we'll learn the history of cocoa at the Choco-Story Museum.

Tour Details

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Merida or at the meeting point you choose when booking and drive south to Uxmal, one of the main Mayan archaeological sites in the Yucatan Peninsula.

Once at this archaeological complex, declared a World Heritage Site, we'll start our guided tour of the entire monumental complex. One of its major highlights is the colossal Pyramid of the Soothsayer. Wondering why it's called that? Well, we'll find out on the day of the tour!

The tour will continue by visiting other important vestiges of the site such as the Quadrangle of the Nuns or the Governor's Palace. We'll also visit the ancient ball game field to discover what this pre-Columbian sport was all about.

After learning more about Uxmal, the tour will continue to the Choco-Story Museum. Its interactive exhibition will allow us to delve into the history of cocoa and the different products made from this delicious product. The museum's collection is arranged in six rooms shaped like traditional Mayan houses, and in each of them, we'll discover interesting chocolate-related facts.

Finally, we'll start the journey back to the departure point, where we'll say our goodbyes after between 7 and 8 hours.
