Take a fabulous tour through the Yucatan Peninsula. Travel through the time and discover the magic of Chichen Itza and Uxmal, two of the most important archeological sites in the Maya World. You’ll also get a glimpse of life in the Mexican countryside and in Merida, capital of the State of Yucatan.
DAY 1
We leave from Cancun road to Chichen Itza, ancient city of the Itzaes. The ceremonial center of this site covers an area of more than 3.5 km. As you visit its impressive pyramids, plazas and temples: El Castillo, The Ball Court, The Observatory and the Nunnery, to name just a few, you’ll begin to understand de power of Chichen Itza. A delicious buffet lunch will be served at the famous Mayaland Hotel, where you can also take a refreshing dip in any of the swimming pools, stroll through the tropical gardens or simply relax in the cool breeze.
After Chichen Itza we travel west to Uxmal, another famous Maya site, built in the ornate Puuc architectural style. We will lodge at Hacienda Uxmal, just a few minutes walk away from the archeological site, a feast for your eyes and ears awaits you at the Light & Sound Show at night. The venue is the Nunnery quadrangle and, as you sit there under the stars, you’ll hear the tale of the rise and fall of Uxmal while the temples and pyramids of the ancient city are gradually revealed in all their glory. Enjoy dinner at the hotel before turning in for the night.
DAY 2
On the second day we will enjoy a delicious breakfast in the jungle setting of the hotel. Then it’s on to Uxmal for a guided tour. Set among rolling hills, this site is steeped in the mystery. The Governor’s Palace, Pyramid of the magician and the house of the turtles are just some of the buildings that will arouse your curiosity.
After the visit to Uxmal we set off for Merida, stopping at Hacienda Yaxcopoil on the way. This was one of the largest henequen (sisal) haciendas in the area and is now a museum showcasing sisal manufacture, once the Yucatan’s main industry.
Upon arrival in Merida we’ll take you for a tour, pointing out important sites of interest. Founded on 1542 on the site of a Maya city called "T’ho", Merida is delightful. Its bustling center boasts colonial churches and mansions as well as Paseo de Montejo. This three-line avenue is famous for its beautiful French-Style residences, built on the turn of the century when the henequen industry was at its peak.
You’ll have plenty of time to explore its center, browse the shops and craft markets or sample some Yucatecan Cuisine in a restaurant of your choice. Your guide will be more than happy to offer you some recommendations. Afternoon, departure back to Cancun, we’ll drop you off at your hotel, so you can relax and enjoy the rest of your vacations.
