After picking you up at the designated time at Paseo 60 in Mérida, we will depart for the ancient Mayan city of Chichén Itzá, approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes from the city.

Upon arrival at Chichén Itzá, a 1-hour guided tour of the archaeological site will commence. You will see the pyramid dedicated to the God Kukulkán, known as El Castillo, and learn about the temple's significance in the religious life of Chichén Itzá.

The tour will also include the Temple of the Warriors, surrounded by columns known as "the thousand columns," illustrating war scenes.
