Description:

Explore Maya ruins in Chichén Itzá, swim in a freshwater sinkhole, and explore authentic food and a quaint colonial city. Your expert guide shares stories and facts about these ancient wonders on an intimate small-group tour.

Chichén Itzá is one of most visited Maya ruins and one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. Learn how the Maya city was constructed in phases and marvel at the site, which boasts the most diverse set of Maya architecture in one location. Discover an array of monumental buildings, including the well-known Pyramid of Kukulcan and the Group of 1,000 Columns.

Next, take a swim to cool off in a huge, hidden cenote, a natural wonder filled with freshwater before savoring authentic Yucatecan flavors with an assortment of antojitos street snacks, such as handmade tamales, crispy tostadas, black bean-filled panuchos, puffed salbutes, fresh tacos, and savory empanadas.

Your final stop is for a stroll around the quaint colonial town square of Valladolid, home to the oldest church in the Yucatán as well as family-run shops peddling crafts by local artisans. Take your time to do some shopping and snap some photos before heading back to your hotel.
