What to expect

Once the bustling epicenter of the ancient Mayan civilization, Chichen Itza is a complex of ruins that showcase the history, culture, and religion of its ancient inhabitants. Now bearing the title of a UNESCO World Heritage site, the sacred area makes for a wonderful day trip for those looking to join a Chichen Itza tour.

If you want to get a head start and skip the crowds to tour Chichen Itza, we have an early access option you can choose. Start the day two full hours before most of the visitors arrive and listen to your friendly guide who will shed light on the rich history of this once significant mecca and its indigenous people.

After gazing at the graphic stone carvings and uncovering the secrets of the Maya people, you’ll have time to wander along the ancient ruins to take in the historic atmosphere and grandeur of the surroundings at your own pace.

You’ll then board the comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and head to a cenote of your choice. A cenote is a natural sinkhole that is unique and a must-see when in the Yucatan Peninsula. You can choose between a number of cenotes in Valladolid such as Cenote Ik Kil, Cenote Oxman, or Cenote Suy Tun. If you don’t plan to snorkel around for long, you can even visit multiple cenotes to really make the most out of the dedicated driver you’ll have for the remainder of the afternoon.

If you’d just like to explore the city of Valladolid, that’s okay too! The choice is yours and you have the freedom to dictate where to spend the rest of your afternoon before being dropped off at your accommodations at the end of the day.
