Day Trip Details

We'll pick you up at the indicated time at your hotel in Playa del Carmen and head to Chichén Itzá, one of the main Maya sites of the Yucatán Peninsula.

When we arrive at Chichen Itza, we'll begin to explore firsthand the most important and renowned vestige of the Mayan civilization. Did you know that it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988? Furthermore, since 2007, it has been chosen as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Let's see why!

While we reveal its legends and fascinating facts, we'll visit the most important sites of Chichen Itza: the mythical Pyramid of Kukulcán and the Temple of the Warriors, the Temple of Venus, the Great Ball Court... After the tour, you'll have free time to explore the area at your own pace.

Following the visit to Chichén Itzá, the tour will take us to the famous Cenote Hubiku. Here you can take a dip in a unique breathtaking environment, considered by the Maya to be the entrance to the underworld. This dip is sure to whet your appetite, so we'll then head to a local restaurant for a traditional Yucatecan lunch that includes a typical dish.

After lunch, we'll depart for the Maya city of Ek Balam, where we'll visit the remains of the Oval Palace. We'll also admire the Twins, two mirroring temples, and visit the tomb of Ukit Kan Le'k Tok', an important ruler of Ek Balam, to observe the striking frieze on its façade.

At the end of the guided tour of Ek Balam, we'll return to your hotel in Playa del Carmen, where we'll arrive 12 hours after pickup.

Hotel Pickup

This tour includes hotel pickup and drop–off. Please note that the schedule shown in the booking calendar is an estimate. After making your reservation, we'll get in touch with you to confirm the exact pickup time, which will depend on the location of your hotel.
