Cenote Saamal
You can swim, if you wish, in this beautiful sacred cenote of the Mayan culture and immerse yourself in its crystal-clear and refreshing waters. Cenotes, also known as "eyes of water," were very important to the Mayans, from a ceremonial standpoint to survival.
Chichen Itza
Here you'll have a guided tour of the Mayan ceremonial center of Chichén Itzá accompanied by one of our certified guides, afterward, you'll have free time to explore the Mayan city on your own.
Temple of the Warriors
The Temple of the Warriors is one of the most impressive and important structures at Chichén Itzá. It may be the only known Late Classic Maya building large enough to accommodate truly large gatherings.
The so-called Caracol or Observatory is a structure built in the form of a larger circular tower, resting on a platform with a central staircase. The base rests on another rectangular platform, decorated with a cornice with rounded corners at the top. The Caracol is actually constructed of three superimposed buildings.
Gran Juego de Pelota
The Ball Court was more of a ceremonial ritual than a sport and probably represented a symbolic reenactment of the mythical battle between night and day. There is a unique acoustic phenomenon at the ball court: if one speaks at the temple at the southern end, one's voice can be heard at the opposite end, while the sound reverberates along the walls of the northern temple.
The Castle or Pyramid of Kukulcan is a four-sided pyramid with a rectangular temple on top. A worthy testimony to the astonishing progress of the Maya in architecture and astronomy, the "light and shadow" phenomenon that occurs on the north staircase of the Castle during the Spring Equinox, where a serpent can be seen descending the stairs. The sun casts seven triangles of light onto the balustrade on the northeast side of the Castle. These begin to move up and down along the balustrade to form the silhouette of a descending serpent.
Valladolid
We will make a brief visit to the main square of the beautiful picturesque town of Valladolid named as Pueblo Mágico for preserving the architecture and traditions of the locals. *If the local health authorities do not allow the descent, a brief stop will be made only on board the transport.
