Full description

Embark on an unforgettable journey to Chichen Itza, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Travel comfortably in a modern, air-conditioned van — a faster and more efficient alternative to standard bus tours — allowing you to make the most of your day in Cancun or Riviera Maya. This all-inclusive experience features round-trip hotel transportation, entrance fees, a guided tour, and a delicious Yucatecan lunch.

Marvel at the splendor of El Castillo, also known as the Temple of Kukulcán, a majestic stepped pyramid that represents the power and knowledge of the ancient Maya civilization. Our bilingual tour guides, specialists in Mesoamerican culture and archaeology, will unveil the deep astronomical and spiritual significance behind its intricate architecture.

As you explore the site, you'll discover key structures such as the Temple of the Warriors, the Plaza of the Thousand Columns, the Great Ball Court, and the mysterious Nunnery Complex. You'll also visit El Caracol, a Maya observatory that reflects their sophisticated understanding of the stars, and Akab Dzib, an enigmatic structure still being studied today.

Uncover the secrets of the Ossuary Group, where the Pyramid of the Ossuary and the Temple of Xtoloc represent the sacred and funerary aspects of Maya belief. Later, find serenity at the Sacred Cenote, a ceremonial site of spiritual importance, where your guide will recount ancient rituals and explain the significance of artifacts discovered in its depths.

This tour is also available as a private experience, ideal for special occasions like honeymoons, anniversaries, bachelorette parties, family reunions, and corporate events.

Thanks to our efficient logistics, you’ll return to your hotel with plenty of time to enjoy the rest of your day. Please note that the drive to Chichen Itza can take up to two and a half hours each way, depending on your hotel location. The site is located in the municipality of Tinum, in the heart of the Yucatan Peninsula, along the main road between Cancun and Merida.
