Itinerary and highlights

Welcome to Chichen Itza which means "the city on the edge of the well of the Itzaes" in the Mayan language. Chichen Itza has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988 and Wonder of the World since 2007. It was a political and cultural center of Mayan civilization, known for its monumental architecture and mysticism; it is also one of the best preserved testimonies of Mayan civilization.

Cenotes had profound meaning, were considered sacred portals to the underworld, providing access to the gods and acting as vital water sources.
Feel the weight of history as you swim through this ancient portal, connecting me to the cultural heritage of the region.
