One of our friendly bilingual drivers and guides will pick you up from your hotel between 7:00am and 8:00am. Sit back and relax as we head towards our first destination - Chichén Itzá.
Chichén Itzá, literally 'mouth of the well of the Itzáes' in Mayan, is an awe inspiring ruin well worth a visit for its spectacular, iconic structures and historical significance, despite the large amount of visitors. Visible even from out of space Ek' Balam, Chichén is the most important of all Maya sites in Mexico. You will have the full experience as our guide fills you in on all the details and colourful history.
Our next destination will be a welcome refreshment after the heat of Chichén Itzá, as we enter an impressive cenote of singular beauty. Yokdzonot is the name of the community that, through a cooperative, seeks to show off the beauty of its cenote in a responsible way. In Yokdzonot we will be served various “antojitos yucatecos”, exquisite regional snacks, which will replenish our energy and last us till lunch time in Valladolid, where we visit a prestigious restaurant in its scenic main square.
Valladolid, Mexico is an incredible hidden gem located deep in Mexico’s Yucatan jungle where the past and the present combine to delight us with spectacular views of its beautiful and colourful colonial architecture, beautiful people and where we can enjoy its delicious cuisine. A walk through the main areas will give you a feeling of the colonial history of the area. After taking this tour, you will be able to say that you have visited the “real” Mexico.
We will return to the hotel between 6:30pm and 7:00pm.
