Chichen Itza
We´ll start the day with a guided visit to the Maya – Toltec site of Chichen Itzá, located at only 40min drive from Valladolid. As we leave early, we’ll be at the archaeological site before the crowds arrive and we´ll avoid the heat.
A professional certified guide will explain you about this New World Wonder (+- 1h30min). After the guide tour you´ll have enough free time to enjoy the place and take some nice pictures.
Cenote
A deserved refreshing dip in a remote open cenote will be more than satisfying on our next stop. If you want, you can take the swing rope to jump in it or take a moment to just relax. Followed by lunch.
Ek Balam
This Maya site is very different to Chichen Itza and at least as beautiful.
Recently they found an 80% intact stucco façade of the mausoleum of Ukit Kan Le’k Tok’, the most important Maya ruler of Ek Balam, with more than 7000 pieces of offerings. Dating back to the 8th century. Impressive!
We are back in Valladolid at about 5:30pm.
