Chichén Itzá Guided Exploration

Our meeting point is set at the Chichén Itzá Archaeological Site, located in the northern section of the Yucatán Peninsula. Here, our guided journey will transport you to the height of Mayan civilization.

The iconic image of Chichén Itzá is dominated by the remarkable pyramid dedicated to the God Kukulkán, informally termed 'The Castle' by the Spanish conquerors. This temple was central to the spiritual practices of the area, serving as a massive sacred calendar for the Maya.

Following this, we will visit the Temple of the Jaguars, the Tzompantli with its mysterious skull engravings, the Platform of the Eagles, and an array of other remarkable sites within the splendid Chichén Itzá. After a 2-hour journey of discovery, we will conclude the tour and bid farewell.
