Overview

This full-day bus tour starts early to allow arrival at Chichen Itza before the main crowds. Visitors spend about two hours at the site, beginning with a guided tour led by a certified bilingual guide that covers key landmarks like El Castillo (Temple of Kukulcán), the Great Ball Court, and the Temple of the Warriors. After approximately one hour of guided exploration, guests have free time to walk around and take photos at their own pace. Next, the tour continues to Hacienda Selva Maya near Valladolid for lunch and a visit to Cenote Saamal. The hacienda offers a traditional Yucatecan buffet inside a colonial-style building. Within its grounds, Cenote Saamal is open for swimming amid limestone cliffs and jungle vegetation. Changing rooms and restrooms are available. Visitors can choose to swim, relax, or explore the hacienda during this two-hour stop. The final segment includes a 30-minute visit to Valladolid’s historic center. Here, guests can taste different types of tequila while learning about its production and heritage. There is also free time to stroll the main square, view colonial architecture, and see the San Servacio Church before the return trip. The tour includes hotel pickup from Cancun or the Riviera Maya, air-conditioned transport, lunch, tequila tasting, and a bilingual guide throughout. Admission fees, drinks at lunch, and optional locker or life jacket rentals are not included.
