Visit "El Castillo", the Temple of the Warriors and "El Caracol" as you explore one of the most important Maya cities with this excursion to Chichén Itzá.

Chichén Itzá Day Trip

Starting the day early, we'll head to the ancient Maya city of Chichén Itzá. Upon arrival, the first stop will be the pyramid dedicated to God Kukulkán, known as "El Castillo". With your professional guide, we'll uncover the secrets of this temple that played a key role in the religious life of Chichén Itzá.

The guided tour continues with insights into the history of Chichén Itzá, including the Temple of the Warriors, characterized by its pyramid surrounded by columns depicting war scenes. We will also visit El Osario, a pyramid containing a cave, and the El Caracol observatory, showcasing the Maya's advanced astronomical knowledge.

Afterward, you'll have one hour of free time to explore the site and take pictures. We will then proceed to a local restaurant for a buffet lunch featuring local specialties like roast chicken, pork, rice, beans, and handmade tortillas.

In the afternoon, we will visit a nearby cenote, natural pools formed by cave collapses, where we will learn about their ceremonial significance for the Mayans. You will have 30 minutes to swim, so it is advisable to bring a swimsuit and towel.

The tour concludes back at the meeting point in Merida, approximately 9 to 10 hours later.
