Chichén Itzá · Yucatán
A full day at the largest Maya city of its era. Climb the shadow of Kukulcán, cross the great Ball Court, and drink from the sacred cenote — with a licensed archaeologist-guide, before the busloads arrive.
Full-day itinerary
Air-conditioned van and coffee on board. Two hours through henequen fields to the gate.
We enter at opening. The Serpent Pyramid, empty. Take the photo before anyone else can.
The largest ball court in Mesoamerica, and the tzompantli — carved skulls stacked in stone.
The offering pool and the round observatory. What the Maya knew about Venus, from the stone up.
Regional Yucatecan lunch, then a swim in a 26-meter-deep sinkhole ringed by hanging roots.
Back to Valladolid by 18:30 or Mérida by 19:30, traffic permitting.
