Tour of Chichén Itzá, a Cenote and Valladolid from Cancún

Overview

This full-day excursion from Cancún allows you to discover three emblematic sites of the Yucatán: the Maya city of Chichén Itzá, a cenote, and the colonial town of Valladolid. The programme includes round-trip transport in an air-conditioned vehicle, a professional bilingual guide, and a regional buffet lunch. The day begins with a guided tour of Chichén Itzá, where you will discover the Kukulkan pyramid and the Temple of the Warriors. Depending on the option chosen, you will enjoy a swim in a different cenote: Oxman Cenote for the shared bus tour, or Ik Kil Cenote for the small group option. The journey concludes with a free walk through the colourful streets of Valladolid, a colonial town characterised by its historic churches and lively main square. The small group option limits participants to 18 people in a minivan, while the shared tour takes place by bus for groups of up to 56 people.
