Journey through time to ancient and colonial Mexico. Selected as one of the New Wonders of the World, Chichen Itza is one of the most spectacular archaeological sites in the Americas and a "must-see" for those interested in history and culture. An expert guide will lead you through the centuries of history and development, as well as help you understand the amazing architecture, art, and engineering integrated into the city. After Chichen, visit a local community-run cenote, the perfect spot to get away from the crowds and cool down in the refreshing blue waters.
Valladolid is a city where past and present come together to delight with the sights of colored colonial architecture and tastes of incredibly rich gastronomy. Enjoy a lunch in the courtyard of a restored colonial mansion, an experience in itself, and have time to wander the square and streets of the center afterward. There will be great photo opportunities, craft shopping, and a taste of slow-paced Mexican life.
