Description

The first stop is the archaeological zone of Chichén Itzá where you will enter the great Mayan city and the first thing you will see is “El Castillo” which was built to honor the God Kukulcán. The visit time is 2 and a half hours, in the company of a certified guide, explore the beautiful buildings of this Mayan city. We visited the most important buildings of Chichén Itzá such as the Castle, the Platform of Venus, the Tzompantli, the Mayan ball game, the sacred cenote and the snail observatory, among others. Then, immerse yourself in the sacred world offered by the Ik Kil cenote, a window to the past where you will find the perfect balance of harmony and adventure. Ik-Kil, in Mayan “The Place of the Winds”, is a park surrounded by exotic plants and large old trees. In the center of the park you can find the Ik Kil Cenote, a reflection of the natural wealth of Yucatan and which was an adornment of ancient cultures. Animals dating back centuries have been found there, proving that this cenote is a place of sacrifice and legends. Enjoy a delicious buffet meal at the Yax-beh restaurant, with a drink included (vegetarian options available). Finally, we took a guided tour of the magical town of Izamal, known as the city of three cultures, as it combines the pre-Hispanic and colonial history of the state while reflecting contemporary life. As you walk through its streets, you will notice a very curious detail: all the houses are painted yellow and white.
