Overview

Chichen Itza is one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. A must when coming to Mexico. We leave early in the morning (around 6:30 am for Playa Del Carmen) to avoid the crowds as much as possible. We take the fastest route, without making any technical stops (souvenir shops, central agency for final payments, etc.) in order to arrive before the hot weather and the crowds. As you leave, you can see all the big groups arriving... After a guided tour (your certified guide will accompany you all day, not only to the ruins), you will have some free time for souvenirs (good place to to buy). Then, we take the road again to visit a Mayan community where you will eat traditional food and learn about the Mayan culture. We will end with a magnificent cenote to refresh you. you will be back at your hotel around 6 p.m. Quality service in small groups without mixing languages and all inclusive.
