About this experience

Enjoy a one-hour guided tour as your expert guide brings the Kukulkan Pyramid, Temple of the Warriors, and Great Ball Court to life with fascinating stories. Then, take another hour to explore on your own, snap photos, and soak in the magic.

Next, cool off with a swim in Cenote Noolhá, a hidden jungle oasis with crystal-clear waters and lush greenery. Depending on availability, we may visit Cenote Chichikan instead, offering the same refreshing dip and natural beauty.

Itinerary and highlights

Kick off your day with an early guided tour of one of the Seven Wonders of the World, arriving just as the gates open for a quieter, cooler experience. Dive into the rich history of Chichén Itzá as you explore iconic landmarks like the Temple of Kukulcán, the Temple of the Warriors, and the sacred cenote. After the tour, enjoy free time to snap photos, soak in the atmosphere, or wander the ruins at your own pace.

Cenote Noolhá is a hidden jungle gem, with crystal-clear blue green waters, soaring rock walls, and lush tropical vibes all around. Sunlight filters through the trees, creating the perfect setting for a refreshing swim or a quiet moment surrounded by nature’s magic.

Depending on availability, we might visit Cenote Chichikan instead. It is an equally breathtaking spot with mysterious cave like formations, vibrant jungle scenery, and the same otherworldly charm. Either way, get ready for a magical escape you won’t forget.

In Valladolid, enjoy free time to stroll through the charming streets of this colorful colonial town. Visit the historic Church of San Servacio, built by the Spanish in the 16th century, snap photos in the lively main square, and browse local shops for unique handmade crafts and souvenirs.
