What To Expect
Get an early start on the day with pickup between 5:30am and 6:45 am, then enjoy a light breakfast during the 113-mile (182-km) trip to Chichen Itza, an ancient Maya city that's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Upon arrival at Chichen Itza, tour the sprawling complex with the guide, beginning with the Kukulkan Castle: also known as The Pyramid, this dramatic temple is aligned with the seasons, and a feathered serpent appears in shadow during the equinoxes. Continue to the ball court and the rest of the site, including the astronomical observatory, "The Church," and more. Following your time at Chichen Itza, travel to the Cenote Hubikku, an underground pool that's perfect for a cooling swim. This is one of the many caverns that dot the Yucatan's limestone plateau, and it's often illuminated by a shaft of clear sunlight. The final stop of the day is Ek Balam, where you can climb the acropolis to follow painted scenes from the Maya underworld, see the astronomers' reflecting pools, and learn about the re-discovery of the site. Ek Balam is a less-visited site that's still surrounded by thick jungle, and offers an explorer's experience of Yucatan archeology. This 12-hour tour concludes with return transfer to Playa del Carmen, and drop-off at your hotel.
