Itinerary and highlights

Chichen Itza is a world-renowned archaeological site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. It is the most famous complex of Mayan ruins in Mexico and a monumental testament to the advanced astronomical and architectural knowledge of the Mayan civilization.

The most iconic structure is the majestic Kukulkan Pyramid (El Castillo), a stepped pyramid that functions as a giant calendar. During the spring and autumn equinoxes, the sun casts a shadow in the shape of a serpent descending the staircase, an amazing phenomenon that attracts thousands of visitors. Your adventure will be led by a certified guide, an expert on the history and secrets of this civilization. Unlike other, more crowded sites, in Chichen Itzá you can walk and appreciate the majesty of its structures up close.

To culminate the experience, a refreshing swim in a cenote with crystal-clear waters awaits you, a mystical and purifying experience that will allow you to connect with the nature of the Mayan jungle.

The Fábrica de Tequila Mayapan, or Mayapan Agave Distillery, is a fascinating place located near the colonial city of Valladolid, in Yucatán. Although it can't legally produce "Tequila" (as that designation is limited to specific regions of Mexico, primarily Jalisco), the distillery uses the same traditional process to create a high-quality agave spirit.

Accompanied by an expert, you'll learn everything about the production process, from harvesting the blue agave ("jima") in the fields to distillation and aging in barrels. It's an educational experience that lets you see traditional techniques up close.

The distillery is set in a beautiful natural environment, with agave fields that contribute to a visually appealing and authentic experience.

The tour culminates with a tasting of their different products, allowing you to appreciate the various flavors and aromas of the distilled spirit.

Valladolid is a charming colonial city in the state of Yucatán, known as "The Pearl of the East." It's distinguished by its viceregal architecture, colorful streets, and a quiet, authentic atmosphere that makes it a must-see destination for those looking to immerse themselves in Yucatecan culture.

Valladolid has been designated a "Pueblo Mágico" (Magic Town) of Mexico, in recognition of its rich history, culture, and beauty. It's one of the oldest cities on the Yucatán Peninsula, founded in 1543. Its location in the center of the Yucatán Peninsula makes it a perfect base for exploring the surroundings.
