Itinerary

Chichen Itza

2 hours

Chichén Itzá is a complex of Mayan ruins on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. A massive step pyramid, known as El Castillo or Temple of Kukulcan, dominates the ancient city, which thrived from around 600 A.D. to the 1200s. Graphic stone carvings survive at structures like the ball court, Temple of the Warriors and the Wall of the Skulls.
Ek Balam Village

2 hours

Ekʼ Balam is a Yucatec-Maya archaeological site within the municipality of Temozón, Yucatán, Mexico. It lies in the Northern Maya lowlands, 25 kilometres (16 mi) north of Valladolid and 56 kilometres (35 mi) northeast of Chichen Itza. From the Preclassic until the Postclassic period, it was the seat of a Mayan kingdom. The site is noted for the preservation of the plaster on the tomb of Ukit Kan Lek Tokʼ, a king buried in the side of the largest pyramid.
Valladolid

2 hours

Valladolid is a charming city on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, known for its pastel-colored colonial architecture and authentic local atmosphere. Highlights include the 16th-century Convent of San Bernardino de Siena, featuring an ornate wooden altarpiece, and the San Gervasio Cathedral, a beautiful baroque-style church overlooking the main square. Visitors can also explore Casa de los Venados, a private home-turned-museum that showcases an impressive collection of Mexican folk art and handcrafted furnishings
