Full Day Tour Chichén Itzá Cenote Saamal Valladolid with buffet

About this experience

This is the classic version of the tour to Chichén Itzá, with a visit to a cenote and the Colonial city of Valladolid. The advantage is that you have a little more time to swim in the cenote and visit the center of Valladolid. For our guests who do not want to swim much, it is a better option since we only visit one cenote, which is open and has impressive views from both below and from above. An unforgettable experience where you can acquire memories for your loved ones in House.
