Lunch
Je nachdem von wo man startet ist es eine lange Anreise bis nach Chichen Itza, aber der Weg lohnt sich. Die Tempelanlage ist super interessant und offen begehbar, sodass man sich alles aus nächster nähe anschauen kann. Die Cenote liegt noch einmal 15 Minuten entfernt, ein super schönes Erlebnis in klarem Wasser in einer fast geschlossenen Höhle. Im Anschluss gab es noch ein Mittagsbuffet, nichts außer gewöhnliches, aber mexikanisch angehaucht und lecker. Guide sehr witzig, informativ. Fahrer top
A duo of Mexican delights await on this full day tour from Cancun. The adventure begins at the break of dawn with a journey to experience the wonder of Chichen Itza, a UNESCO-listed ancient Maya city. Then, wind down with a swim in a natural underground cenote cave. Hugo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The early start is worth it – we'll arrive first thing in the morning to experience the magic of the ruins in the soft sunlight and beat the heat'.
A guided tour of the ruined city reveals the stories of this remarkable site. It's not hard to imagine the daily lives of the community that lived here and built these impressive monuments. After the guided tour, enjoy free time to make the most of exploring this archaeological treasure trove as you wish. Hugo adds, ‘This ancient city isn't just about admiring the grandeur of El Castillo, but also about feeling the pulse of the Maya civilization that thrived here centuries ago. Don't miss the Great Ball Court—imagine the echoes of the past as players competed in this very spot.'
Next, you'll be whisked away to Cenote Tsukán. Cenotes are believed by the Maya to be portals to the underworld, and they are revered in traditional culture. Here, you will plunge into the limpid waters, participate in a traditional ceremony and feel your senses awaken in glorious natural surroundings. Afterwards, you'll enjoy a tasty local lunch, savouring the flavours of regional cuisine prepared with fresh, local ingredients.
