Itinerary and highlights

The Mayan Museum of Cancun is a fascinating place to explore the rich history of Mayan culture. Located at kilometer 16.5 of Kukulcán Boulevard in Cancun’s Hotel Zone, Quintana Roo, Mexico, this museum houses an impressive collection of artifacts and exhibits related to the Maya. The architectural design is avant-garde and respects the natural environment, making it a unique cultural space. Here, you’ll find pieces that tell the story of this ancient civilization, from their art to their daily life. Definitely worth a visit!

As travelers, we value markets as emblematic places in our destinations, as they represent the living culture of a town in its purest essence. For this reason, we have chosen Cancun's Market 23, where you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in all the sensory aspects of Mexican culture, guided by a local enthusiast.
Here, we have prepared a unique gastronomic experience that will allow you to taste the most iconic dishes of Mexican cuisine, such as tortas, tacos, tostadas, and seasonal fruits, as well as some exclusive delicacies of this place.

After our visit to Market 23, we'll journey into the heart of Cancun to uncover a hidden gem: Neen Ha cenote. This secluded spot, cherished by locals but often overlooked by tourists, features mineral-rich healing waters, ideal for a refreshing swim and capturing stunning photos amidst untouched natural beauty. Get ready for an unforgettable aquatic adventure!
