Prepare for a magical experience in Quintana Roo. These towns are full of radiant beauty and well-preserved Mayan archaeological remains that are a must-visit!
Early in the morning, you'll visit the archaeological site of Tulum. The ancient Mayan city of Tulum is situated on cliffs overlooking the Caribbean Sea. This fortified city was one of the few Mayan cities that the Spanish found inhabited when they arrived in South America. At the end of the tour, you'll be treated to a chocolate tasting. Did you know? Derived from the Nahuatl word (the Aztec language) "xocolatl", chocolate comes from Mexico!
Your second stop will be the archaeological site of Cobá, located inland some 40 km from Tulum and 105 km from Playa del Carmen. This ancient Mayan city, the most powerful in northern Yucatán and rival to Chichen Itza, occupies an immense territory of 70 km2. The presence of five lakes and lagoons nearby certainly favoured its development. Most of the site is still buried in the forest, with only the pyramids exposed. You'll admire the impressive Nohoch Mul temple, the highest pyramid on the peninsula at 42 metres. To whet your appetite, the tour will be followed by a tequila tasting.
You'll then enjoy a buffet lunch (Mexican meal) before a refreshing dip in a Cenote. Cenotes are natural spits, created by the erosion of limestone, and partially filled with fresh water, it's a veritable natural swimming pool. The Cenotes have become a must-see on the Yucatan Peninsula.
You will live a unique and sensational experience with a comprehensive day tour! Dive deep into Mexican culture by visiting Tulum, Cobá, and a cenote, and sampling some of its incredible cuisine.
