"Chichen Itza Plus" Tour

"Chichen Itza Plus" Tour

Description

Chichen Itza was a large pre-Columbian city built by the Maya people of the Terminal Classic period. The archaeological site is located in Tinúm Municipality, Yucatán State, Mexico. It is declared by the UNESCO as World Heritage, and is considered one of the "New Seven Wonders of the World". Chichen Itza was one of the largest Maya cities and it was likely to have been one of the mythical great cities, or Tollans, referred to in later Mesoamerican literature.

The city may have had the most diverse population in the Maya world, a factor that could have contributed to the variety of architectural styles at the site. There you will find the ball game, temples, the spectacular Castle (Pyramid of Kukulkan) and the Mayan calendar stone that measures 25 meters. The Toltec warriors are represented in the engravings found around the entrance, at the top of the Castle. The local guides will provide detailed information about Chichen Itza and even take you to a Sacred Cenote.

Chichen Adventure is the first eco-adventure park of its kind in Yucatan, is located just a few minutes from the archaeological site of Chichen Itza. This amazing Park invites you to relax and enjoy the refreshing Cenote Rio Maya, tasting delicious local dishes at the buffet, driving an ATV or soaking in the peaceful environment of the jungle while riding a horse.

Tour´s atracttions

During our tour of Chichen Itza, a certified guide will provide you with a thorough explanation about the ancient Maya culture, their government, religion, calendar, rituals and much more. Besides swimming in an impressive cenote and visiting Valladolid, you will learn about the purpose of the Mayan buildings such as the Kukulcan Temple on our Chichen Itza Plus tour, one of the best Cancun activities of all times!

Do you want to know why people say our Chichen Itza Plus tour is one of the most memorable Cancun tours ever? Well, you have unlimited beer, water, and soda on board! On the other hand, besides visiting Chichen Itza we will take you to a refreshing cenote for a swim. Cenotes are natural sinkholes resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes fresh water underneath; they were considered a portal to the underworld and were also the only source of water in the Maya world.

We also pay a 20-minute visit to the colonial town of Valladolid Mexico to take pictures and learn about this beautiful, historical city founded in 1543. Our adventure, one of the most complete of all Chichen Itza tours available, also includes a delicious buffet lunch with traditional regional foods. Don't forget to try the cochinita pibil tacos! It is a slow-roasted pork dish of Mayan origin you'll just love.
