Your Chichen Itza + Cenote + Valladolid Itinerary
Three iconic Yucatan experiences — ancient ruins, natural wonder, and colonial charm

Pro Tip: Have breakfast at your hotel before pickup. Bring swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes.
Chichen Itza Guided Tour
Explore one of the New Seven Wonders with your certified archaeologist guide. Visit El Castillo, the Great Ball Court, Temple of Warriors, Sacred Cenote, and the Observatory. Includes free time for photos and exploration.
El Castillo Pyramid
The iconic 79-foot pyramid with 365 steps
Great Ball Court
Largest ancient ball court in Mesoamerica
Temple of Warriors
Hundreds of carved warrior columns
Sacred Cenote
Natural sinkhole used for Mayan ceremonies
Pro Tip: Take photos early when the light is best. Stay hydrated!
Yucatecan Buffet Lunch

Pro Tip: Try everything — Yucatecan cuisine has unique flavors you won't find elsewhere!
Cenote Swim
Cool off in the crystal-clear waters of Cenote Ik Kil or Hubiku. Descend stone steps surrounded by hanging vines. Life jackets provided free, changing rooms and showers available.
Pro Tip: Use reef-safe sunscreen only — we provide complimentary biodegradable sunscreen.
Valladolid Town Tour
Your guide leads you through the colorful colonial streets of this UNESCO Pueblo Mágico. Visit the 16th-century San Gervasio Cathedral, the main plaza, and browse the artisan market for handmade crafts at excellent prices.
Pro Tip: The artisan market has hammocks, embroidered textiles, vanilla, and sweets at better prices than Chichen Itza.

✓ Verified Purchase"Best Day Trip in Mexico!"
Three incredible experiences in one day. The guide was fantastic, cenote was magical, and Valladolid was a charming surprise. We saw the ruins, swam in crystal-clear waters, and wandered colonial streets — all before 5 PM. Highly recommend this combo!

✓ Verified Purchase"The Most Complete Yucatan Experience"
We debated between the standard day tour and this combo, and SO glad we chose this one. The cenote as a dedicated stop (not rushed) was perfect, and Valladolid's guided walk added cultural depth that the regular tour doesn't have. Worth every penny!

This tour gives you the best of everything — ancient history, natural beauty, and colonial culture in one perfectly planned day. Our guide Jorge was exceptional. The lunch in Valladolid was the best meal of our trip. Can't recommend this enough!
