What to expect

A duo of Mexican delights await on this full day tour from Cancun. The adventure begins at the break of dawn with a journey to experience the wonder of Chichen Itza, a UNESCO-listed ancient Maya city. Then, wind down with a swim in a natural underground cenote cave. Hugo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The early start is worth it – we'll arrive first thing in the morning to experience the magic of the ruins in the soft sunlight and beat the heat'.

A guided tour of the ruined city reveals the stories of this remarkable site. It's not hard to imagine the daily lives of the community that lived here and built these impressive monuments. After the guided tour, enjoy free time to make the most of exploring this archaeological treasure trove as you wish. Hugo adds, ‘This ancient city isn't just about admiring the grandeur of El Castillo, but also about feeling the pulse of the Maya civilization that thrived here centuries ago. Don't miss the Great Ball Court—imagine the echoes of the past as players competed in this very spot.'

Next, you'll be whisked away to Cenote Tsukán. Cenotes are believed by the Maya to be portals to the underworld, and they are revered in traditional culture. Here, you will plunge into the limpid waters, participate in a traditional ceremony and feel your senses awaken in glorious natural surroundings. Afterwards, you'll enjoy a tasty local lunch, savouring the flavours of regional cuisine prepared with fresh, local ingredients.

    The tour guide was very helpful and acted like a very professional tour guide, full of knowledge, very good explanation of the trip . The trip was a very long trip , but it was comfortable, the coach had WiFi as well , so made the journey more enjoyable. Cenote was an amazing experience, I would definitely recommend this trip . It’s worth it.

    We enjoyed the whole experience. We weren't keen on having the early start but it was well worth it when we were leaving Chichen Itza having enjoyed the spacious relatively cool experience when passing the crowds queuing in soaring temperatures to have the the experience at much more uncomfortable temperatures. And to top that our next venue was Cenote so we could cool off and have a lovely lunch before returning to the hotel. We'll done TUI ??

    the time at both sites , was rushed and frankly not long enough , each site required at least 30 minutes , an hour would have been brilliant seemed very very rushed
