Day 1
Upon arrival in the Cancun airport transfer to your hotel in Cancun or Playa del Carmen.
Day 2
In the morning head to the ancient archeological site of Chichen-Itza. The famous Mayan pyramids of Chichen-Itza are more than 1,500 years old. The site is divided into three sections. The north grouping of structures is distinctly Toltec in style. The central group appears to be from the early period. The southern group is known as “The Old Chichén.” You will find a large ball court where Mayan men played a game called pok ta pok, full of symbolism and drama. Breakfast and lunch included.
Day 3
Today you will take a boat tour of Isla Mujeres, a small island, a short distance off the coast of the northeast of the Yucatán Peninsula in the Caribbean Sea. While on the boat enjoy an included lunch and an open bar.
Day 4
In the morning, head to the archaeological site of Tulum. Mounted on the edge of a cliff, this abandoned city towers above the deep turquoise of the Caribbean and a beautiful white sandy beach. Although the site dates back to earlier times, Tulum reached its peak in the Post-classic period between 1,000 and 1,600 AD. Originally called Zama or City of the Dawn, the sun rises from the sea above the city walls and for the ancient Maya, begins her dance across the sky. The city within the walls was only inhabited by the nobles, high priests and esteemed citizens such as astronomers whereas the lower classes lived in simple wood and thatch huts beyond. The buildings in the city were originally covered with brilliant paintings and carvings – stark white, deep red or vibrant blue, but only faint remnants of these now remain.
Day 5
Enjoy a day of leisure to explore on your own or add additional optional activities.
Day 6
Transfer to the airport for your flight home or continue to another destination.
