Discover the history and culture of the ancient Mayan civilization in this full-day tour that will start off with an early exploration of the Chichen Itza ruins, followed by a quick tour of the quaint town of Piste and a dip in Cenote Ik Kil.
Start your adventure with an early pickup from Cancun and/or Playa del Carmen, beating the crowds and the heat once you arrive at the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza. You’ll go on a guided tour of the once-bustling complex, learning about the rich history, religion, culture and daily life of the Maya.
Following an informational walk around the pyramids, you’ll have some free time to wander around, gazing at the spectacular stone carvings, and taking photos by the glorious steps of the ruins. Then you’ll board the comfortable air-conditioned vehicle and leave right before the morning gets too warm and the crowds increase.
You’ll head to the charming town of Piste and have a quick look around before heading to Cenote Ik Kil. Archaeologists claim that this natural pit and sinkhole was once a place used by the Maya to pray to the rain god Chaac. You’ll marvel at its stunning views, take photos of the turquoise waters and lush vegetation and maybe squeeze in a quick dip before going for lunch.
After enjoying some delicious local food, you’ll board the vehicle once more and make your way back to Cancun and Riviera Maya with nothing but knowledge and memories to remember your adventure.
