  • You'll forge a deeper connection to the Maya culture during a traditional ceremony at Cenote Tsukán

What to expect

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.

Santuario delle scimmie di Akumal con tour in ATV e snorkeling a Cancun

La penisola messicana dello Yucatan è ricca di paesaggi selvaggi e avrete la possibilità di immergervi in questo itinerario di un'intera giornata. Potrete visitare un santuario delle scimmie, fare un giro in ATV nella giungla e fare un po' di snorkeling nella baia di Akumal. Javier, un'esperta guida locale, dice che "questa attività è perfetta se volete lasciarvi alle spalle le grandi città e gli hotel per un po' e sperimentare il lato più verde del Messico. Cenotes, fauna selvatica, spiagge, giungla: li incontrerete tutti".Inizierete la giornata con una visita al Santuario delle scimmie di Akumal, un luogo in cui vengono curati gli animali salvati nella zona. Sarete accompagnati da una delle persone che lavorano qui e vi verranno presentati alcuni dei primati e degli uccelli di cui ci si prende cura. Poi, cambierete marcia per un giro in ATV attraverso la giungla. Potrete mettervi ai comandi di un veicolo per raggiungere un cenote nascosto nel verde. Queste doline naturali di acqua dolce sono uniche in questa parte del Messico e la guida vi parlerà del loro significato culturale prima di poter fare un bagno.Una volta terminato, vi dirigerete verso l'ultima tappa di oggi, la Baia di Akumal. Questo luogo sabbioso è conosciuto da Tulum a Cancun come uno dei migliori punti di snorkeling della zona. Ed è proprio quello che potrete fare qui. Inoltre, la baia di Akumal è nota per la sua popolazione di tartarughe autoctone, per cui è probabile che durante la vostra visita condividerete le acque con questi gentili rettili.
