Overview

On this unforgettable adventure, you'll visit one of the most important archaeological sites of the ancient Maya civilization—Chichén Itzá—and explore two of Yucatán's beloved Pueblos Mágicos: Izamal and Valladolid.

We’ll begin in the vibrant Yellow City of Izamal, where nearly every building is painted golden yellow. Learn about the town’s history and visit its highlights, including the Convent of San Antonio de Padua. Then, step into the grandeur of Chichén Itzá, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. You’ll have time to explore its majestic pyramids and ancient structures while learning about Maya culture.

After exploring, cool off with a swim in a breathtaking cenote, perfect for photos and a moment of relaxation. We'll end the day in Valladolid, a charming colonial town where you can stroll through the main square, admire local architecture, and snap a memorable photo at the iconic Valladolid letters.
