Overview

This full-day bus tour from Playa del Carmen lasts about 12 to 14 hours and visits three main sites. The journey begins with a stop at a natural cenote, where participants can swim in fresh, clear water fed by underground rivers. After the swim, the tour continues to Chichen Itza, where a professional bilingual guide leads a two-hour walk around the archaeological site, highlighting key features like the pyramid of Kukulkan and the largest ball court in the Americas. Visitors learn about the Mayan civilization and the ritual game of pok ta pok. Following the guided visit, the group enjoys a regional buffet lunch. On the return trip, there is a short stop in Valladolid’s main square to see its colonial buildings and the 16th-century Church of San Gervasio. Transportation is provided on an air-conditioned tourist bus with a capacity of 45 people. Entrance fees to the cenote and Chichen Itza (optionally including the local tax) are included, as well as a visit to a craft store. Drinks during lunch are not included and must be purchased separately. The local tax at Chichen Itza is optional and not included unless selected. This tour suits those interested in Mayan history, natural swimming spots, and colonial architecture.
