Private Chichen Itza tour

Your personal, expert guide will meet you at your hotel lobby at 8am and you will journey together to Chichen Itzá, Mexico’s most visited archeological site (200km, 2 hours 15 minutes). Learning about the cosmology, religion and everyday life of the Maya, your guide will help you get a feel for what Chichen Itzá was like before the Spanish arrived. 

One of the first structures you will see is the “Castillo” or Pyramid of Kukulkan, classed as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World due to its ingenious architecture that results in a figure of a snake descending and ascending the steps during the equinox. Your guide will help you to understand just how the shadowy serpent appears. 

Just outside of the walls of the city you will find the cenote where sacrificial drownings took place. Here you will learn about the type of rituals involved and what was uncovered when attempts were made to drain this deep sinkhole. 

During the day, time for lunch (not included) will be made at a local restaurant.   

At the conclusion of the visit your guide will drive you back to your hotel in Playa del Carmen (252km, 2 hours and 46 minutes).
