Take a deluxe private ride to Chichen Itza

Your journey begins early in the morning when a comfortable private van takes you and your group from your resort to the ancient Mayan kingdom of Chichen Itza. Sit back and relax along the way with VIP service that includes a boxed breakfast and juice. When you arrive to Chichen Itza, your personal guide will lead you through the hallowed grounds of this site and teach you about its majestic structures.

Let the glorious Temple of Kukulcan dominate your attention with its 98 feet in height and centuries of history. Each of the four sides of this pyramid has 91 steps, and when added together along with the platform as the final step, there are 365 steps in total, equal to the number of days in a year. These are the sorts of interesting tidbits you could learn from your knowledgeable guide during your excursion.


Visit more temples of this ancient Mayan city

As your journey through Chichen Itza continues, listen to your guide talk about the Mayans’ mathematical genius and complete astronomical precision, best exemplified by the structure called the Observatory. Mayan astronomers used this temple to study the universe and accurately predict celestial events for years to come.

Not far from this structure are the Nunnery and the Monastery, two temples that depict Mayan symbolism in their amazingly preserved exterior. Additionally, the Temple of Warriors and the Ball Court are two more structures where you’ll feel the spirit of the ancient Mayan youth proving their worthiness before the rulers of the kingdom.


Enjoy lunch and explore Ik Kil cenote and Valladolid

When you leave the Chichen Itza complex, you and your group will take your private ride to the Pueblo Maya restaurant in the town of Piste for a lunch buffet consisting of local delicacies. Savor the vibrant flavor of the Yucatan region before concluding your excursion with one more cool experience — the breathtaking Ik Kil cenote. This sinkhole’s crystalline waters refresh travelers who venture 85 feet below the ground.

Swim in the cenote or simply admire the natural setting deep in the jungle as you sit and relax. After you’ve dried yourself, hop back on your private transportation and enjoy a few beers or soft drinks on your way to the town of Valladolid, where you’ll stop for a look at colonial architecture and a simpler pace of life before making your way back to your resort.
