Uxmal & Hacienda Yaxcopoil Tour

Would you like to know the secrets of the Mayan culture? On this tour to Uxmal from Merida, we'll visit the archaeological site that is part of the Puuc Route and the ancient Hacienda Yaxcopoil.

Description

At the designated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Merida and drive to Hacienda Yaxcopoil to learn about the area's culture and traditions. Its name in Mayan means "place of the green poplars." Here, we will discuss the estate's history, covering pre-Hispanic life, colonial life, and the henequen boom.

Next, we'll head to Uxmal, a World Heritage Site, to explore its main remains, including the Pyramid of the Soothsayer, the Nun's Quadrangle, the Ball Court, and the Governor's Palace.

After visiting Uxmal, we'll stop by a cenote for a refreshing dip. Following this, we'll visit a nearby village to meet a local chef who will teach us several typical recipes of Mayan cuisine.

We'll enjoy a Yucatecan lunch that includes a typical dish from a selection of options. If weather conditions prevent an outdoor class, we will have lunch at a restaurant.

Finally, we'll return to your hotel in Merida, approximately 9 hours after pickup.
