Itinerary and highlights

This Chichen Itza Plus tour invites you to splash and play in one of the unique natural beauties of Yucatan, a sacred cenote of crystalline waters.

Step into Naayil Kú Maya Village for an immersive cultural encounter guided by the Maya themselves. You’ll be welcomed by a Maya warrior and a shaman before walking a sacred jungle path filled with stories and symbolism. Receive a traditional blessing and cleansing, then browse a small handicrafts shop showcasing locally made pieces. The highlight is a live Mayan Ball Game demonstration performed by authentic warriors, followed by a tequila tasting.

Visit the magnificent archaeological site of Chichen Itza for a trip back in time to explore a fascinating ancient culture. The pyramid of Kukulkan is one of the most iconic historical sites in the world, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Explore the site with an expert guide who will share incredible facts and exciting tales of folklore and mythology.

Our Chichen Itza tour includes a visit to the Colonial town of Valladolid, a “Magic Town of Mexico” where you can stroll in the peaceful central square and capture photos of the impressive cathedral.
