Description
In this excursion you'll be captivated by the wonders of Mayapan, particularly its towering Temple of Kukulcan. This terraced pyramid bears a striking resemblance to the one found at Chichen Itza. Surrounding it, you'll discover a multitude of temples, altars, shrines, and residences, many of which are adorned with vibrant murals and well-preserved stucco decorations. Mayapan, the ancient walled city, holds a prominent place in the post-classical Mayan history. However, it remains a lesser-visited archaeological site, a hidden gem waiting to be explored. The inhabitants of this town were renowned for their profound interest and expertise in astronomy and mathematics. A visit to Mayapan will leave you awestruck and brimming with admiration as you set foot on these sacred Mayan grounds. Your journey will transport you through time as you explore a place where nearly 4,000 ancient Mayan monuments have been unearthed. Often referred to as 'The Little Chichen Itza' due to its remarkable resemblance to the renowned Mayan ruins, Mayapan is also considered the last capital of the Mayan world. This city was intentionally constructed to mirror the city of the Itzaes, with many of its structures identical to those at Chichen Itza, albeit on a smaller scale. Mayapan is located approximately 40 kilometers from Merida City. Homun Town, situated within one of the primary cenote-rich areas of the Yucatan Peninsula, offers a unique opportunity to explore a variety of cenotes, including open, semi-covered, and cave cenotes. Immerse yourself in the refreshing, crystal-clear waters, which showcase a delightful spectrum of blue hues, making these cenotes some of the most picturesque in the Yucatan Peninsula. This route has gained popularity due to the distinctive approach to reaching the cenotes. Your journey will take you through the jungle aboard charming horse-drawn platforms fitted with comfortable seating. These platforms, reminiscent of those once used to transport henequen plants from the fields to the processing houses of Haciendas, offer a rustic and traditional adventure. Venturing into the heart of the Mayan jungle on these unique horse-drawn trucks is an absolute must-do experience, promising both fun and a sense of tradition that you won't want to miss.Includes
