This full-day tour from Cancún lasts about 12 to 13 hours and includes round-trip transportation with hotel pickup and drop-off depending on the selected option. The tour begins with a visit to the ancestral Mayan archaeological site of Chichén Itzá, where participants spend approximately 90 minutes exploring the ruins with a certified bilingual guide who explains the history, culture, and significance of the ancient Maya civilization and its structures. After Chichén Itzá, the group travels to a sacred cenote located in the jungle. Visitors have about one hour to swim in the clear, cool water, which holds cultural importance for the Maya people. Following the cenote swim, the tour continues to Naayil Kú Maya Village for about one hour. At the village, a Maya warrior and shaman welcome guests and lead a walk along a jungle path while sharing cultural stories and symbolism. Visitors receive a traditional blessing and cleansing, watch a live Mayan Ball Game demonstration performed by authentic warriors, and can sample tequila. A small handicraft shop is available to browse locally made items. The final stop is a 30-minute visit to Valladolid, a colonial town known as a “pueblo mágico.” Visitors can walk around the central square and see the historical cathedral before returning to Cancún. The tour price includes admission to the cenote, a buffet lunch with drinks, premium beverages and bottled water on board the bus, and hotel pickup and drop-off if selected. Entrance fees to Chichén Itzá, the local culture fee, gratuities, taxes, and optional life jacket rental at the cenote are not included.
