What to expect

Explore one of the New Seven Wonders of the World on this complete day tour to legendary Chichen Itza and the famous Kukulcan Pyramid. Learn about the vast archaeological site of Chichén Itzá, cool off with a dip in a serene cenote, and snap colourful photos in colonial Valladolid, complete with a tasty buffet lunch and a spacious coach ride between each stop.

You start the day with a visit to Cenote Xunáan, a cavernous freshwater pool in a light-filled limestone cave, and dive in for a surreal swim.

Next, you can tuck into a buffet lunch of marinated pork before you hop back on the bus for the last leg of the drive to Chichén Itzá. This UNESCO World Heritage Site features excavated ruins and well-preserved temples, including the iconic Pyramid of Kukulcan and the Great Ball Court, some of the grandest and best-preserved structures of their kind.

Once you've had a look at the nearby Sacred Cenote, climb back into the comfort of the bus. Your final stop is in the quiet city of Valladolid, where the colonial-era pastel walls of shops and restaurants offer a colourful backdrop for photos before the return trip that brings your tour to a close.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Scopri l'importanza del ripristino della barriera corallina di Cancun

Esplora le meraviglie del sistema corallino mesoamericano in questo esclusivo National Geographic Day Tour. In compagnia di specialisti marini, avrai l'opportunità unica di fare snorkeling, capire l'impatto che l'uomo ha sulla barriera corallina e osservare lo sbiancamento dei coralli. Assisterai anche a un discorso approfondito sulle misure attuabili per il ripristino della barriera corallina. Salpando quando le acque sono più calme, ti avventurerai verso due diverse barriere coralline, ciascuna colpita dallo sbiancamento dovuto al riscaldamento globale, all'inquinamento dell'acqua e alle microplastiche. Visita la barriera corallina conosciuta come "El Meco", che vanta i coralli più giovani, i quali la rendono un'attrazione particolarmente speciale. Le barche utilizzate per il tour sono certificate con la Bandiera Blu per il turismo sostenibile, che rende il tuo viaggio in linea con pratiche eco-consapevoli. Lungo il percorso, scoprirai anche la fauna locale e potrai concederti un delizioso pranzo a base di burrito. Il tour ti invoglierà a proteggere questi ecosistemi marini, che è l'obiettivo del progetto Pristine Seas sponsorizzato da National Geographic. Il progetto ha effettuato spedizioni al Banco Chinchorro, una parte significativa del sistema corallino mesoamericano. Questo lavoro sottolinea l'importanza di salvaguardare gli ambienti marini dall'influenza umana, proteggendo al contempo gli ultimi luoghi selvaggi dei nostri oceani. Partecipando a questo tour, apprenderai l'importanza vitale di preservare e proteggere il prezioso sistema corallino mesoamericano. Scopri di persona le meraviglie dell'oceano e acquisisci una profonda comprensione delle barriere coralline e del loro ruolo fondamentale nella biosfera.
