Itinerary and highlights
A quick stop at the famous Cancun sign and overlook to take clear photos of the turquoise ocean before the big tour buses crowd the area.
You will explore an incredible collection of Mayan artifacts alongside your certified guide, followed by a walk through the shaded jungle trails of the ancient San Miguelito site.
We cross the new bridge to visit a peaceful spiritual sanctuary surrounded by nature, a quiet place that very few regular tourists ever get to see.
Located on the northern edge of town, El Meco is a remarkably preserved Mayan site. It is usually very quiet, giving you the rare luxury of walking through ancient history without thousands of people around you.
Free time at Cancun's traditional market. Your guide will show you around so you can look at authentic Mexican crafts and textiles without dealing with the usual high-pressure sales tactics
