Mayan

MayanSettled in the depths of the jungle or with a spectacular view that disappears far in the Caribbean Sea horizon; one of the most antique civilizations built a magnificent city. With a really vast list of Mayan activities, our tours section will certainly have something that calls your attention by taking you to one or many of those Mayan cities. Coming to Mexico without exploring any of the Mayan sites is not permissible! Who can even think of missing the grandiosity of Chichen Itza; where just by taking the first step into its main entrance it’s like getting off a time machine into the pre-Hispanic era. Chichen Itza - capital of the Mayan empire and considered a World heritage by UNESCO - is located in the Yucatan Peninsula, having in its interior many important buildings like the Kukulcan pyramid. So, when coming to Cancun make sure to visit this essential Mayan site by taking a Chichen Itza Classic or Chichen Itza Exclusive tour; and if you feel like exploring more of the Yucatan Mayan sites, like Uxmal for example, then you can stay in one of the comfortable Merida hotels, so you will wake up relaxed and revitalized to continue with your archaeological expeditions or take a Chichen Itza Overnight Deluxe tour, so you can admire the fantastic light and sound show at night by the ancient ruins.

MayanAnother important city was built by the Maya at a very strategic point. Such place is called Tulum, which played an important role for this ancient civilization settled facing the Caribbean Sea. This walled city has an observatory at the very edge of a cliff believed to be employed by the Mayan astronomers who were giving special attention to Venus, planet which they followed with very precise mathematical calculations; Tulum also had a very significant part in the commercial activity of that era. This Mayan tour – Tulum Express - is available to book for to all visitors who stay in a hotel in Cancun, Playa del Carmen or any of the Riviera Maya hotels, also available in a Tulum - Xel-Ha All Inclusive tour - making this a really enjoyable activity for all the family starting with the cultural excursion around Tulum and finishing in the largest natural aquarium of Xel-Ha where you will be able to swim, relax and have a delicious meal.

Not so far from Tulum, it’s located another Mayan site named Coba, here if you are not afraid of heights, there is the opportunity to walk at the top of the stairs of what is actually the tallest pyramid in the Mayan region of Mexico and you will be rewarded by a spectacular view of the endless jungle. You can choose a Coba Maya Encounter tour or – to refresh yourself in a clear water cenote after the hard exercise to reach to top of the pyramid, you can take the Coba, Gran Cenote and Aktunchen tour.

Whatever Mayan site you visit, you will be definitely richer with a cultural and adventurous experience! Remember, when you climb to a Mayan pyramid, it is easier to walk up, and watch out a lot when you are climbing down!
