Itinerary
Cancun
Depart early in the morning from your hotel in Cancun or Riviera Maya to Chichen Itza while the sun begins to show up! Arrive at the archeological site when it is completely empty and avoid the crowds of tourists.
Zona Arqueologica de Chichen Itza
Enjoy the amazing view of the archeological site of Chichén Itza from the inside in the tranquility of your early-morning visit. Learn how this large pre-Colombian city played an important role in Mayan civilization from around A.D. 600 to 1200, and remained a center of worship and pilgrimage until the arrival of the Spanish. Even today, it is still considered a sacred site by the Yucatán peninsula’s Maya population. Furthermore, it became protected by UNESCO and is nowadays considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Follow your private guide and learn the history behind this ancient site, such as the meaning of the stone carvings, pyramids, platforms, ball courts and staircases. Visit the Temple of the Warriors, The Ball Game and, of course, the famous El Castillo, also known as the Temple of Kukulkan.
Once the visit to Chichen Itza is over, you will be moved to a local restaurant, where you will be able to indulge in the flavors of Mexican cuisine with a delicious buffet.
