What to expect

Chichén Itzá

Chichén Itzá is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Spread across an area of 4–5 square kilometers, it is a testament to the ingenuity of the ancient Mayan civilization, from their architecture to their understanding of astronomy and ritual life.

Features

• The Great Ball Court: Explore the largest and best-preserved ball court in Mesoamerica, where ritual ball games once echoed between the high stone walls.

• Guided tour of Chichén Itzá: Walk past temples, platforms, and ceremonial spaces as your expert bilingual guide explains the origins of the city, key structures, and how the Maya organized daily and ceremonial life.

• Round-trip transfers: Travel to and from the site in an air-conditioned coach, with round-trip transfers either from a common meeting point in Cancún or directly from your hotel in Cancún or Playa del Carmen, depending on the option selected.

• Hotel pick-up and drop-off options: If convenience is a priority, choose an option with direct hotel pick-up and drop-off from Cancún or Playa del Carmen so your day begins and ends at your door.

• Meal and tastings, if included in your option: Some options include a buffet-style lunch, and certain Playa del Carmen options also feature a tequila tasting session alongside visits to a sacred cenote and the colonial city of Valladolid.

Wrapping up

If you select an upgraded option, your day can extend beyond the core guided tour at Chichén Itzá to include a visit to a sacred cenote, a panoramic visit to Valladolid, a buffet-style lunch, and a tequila tasting session, all with round-trip hotel transfers from Playa del Carmen. At the end of your chosen itinerary, you are driven back to your original pick-up point or hotel in the air-conditioned coach.
