The jewel in the Yucatan crown, Chichen Itza is an archaeological site brimming with ancient Maya ruins, temples and pyramids. An early morning start awaits as you traverse deep into the Yucatan peninsula to tour the site, journey deep into the underworld at Zazil Tunich cenote and visit a traditional Maya village for lunch. This is one of our TUI Collection excursions, which give you a local flavour of the destination while showcasing its unique, authentic and responsible values.
The world famous archaeological site of Chichen Itza is a must-see while you’re in Cancun. Here you’ll gaze up at the mighty Kukulkan Pyramid, Temple of the Warriors and Temple of the Jaguars as your guide regales you stories about ancient Maya history, culture and legends.
Then, you’ll unearth the secrets of Xibalba – the Maya god of the underworld – as you delve into the depths of Zazil Tunich cenote where you’ll find clear water and stunning stalagmite formations. After lunch, it’s time to walk in a local’s shoes at a traditional Maya village where they’ll show off their skills and weave hammocks before your very own eyes.
